Remember to:

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

No referring to the formatting of the diamond shape compare to my output

I don't see you adding any spaces to the left side

spring basin Feb 23, 2025, 4:27 AM

#

print("", end="") is pointless

#

where's the space

def main():
    size = int(input("Enter an odd number for the size of the diamond: "))
    diamond(size)

main()``` 
Added the spaces, I also dont know why my numbers isn't exactly in order anything you spot?

Hey @short thorn!

Please edit your message to use a code block

Add a py after the three backticks.

```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```

grave drift what order are you expecting them to be in?

grave drift Feb 23, 2025, 4:42 AM

#

all these range calls you're using are generating 0 through stop-1

#

you could have a counter variable and just increment it in every loop and use that as the number you write out, or do the math for your range calls to properly generate the numbers you need

How do I do that

short thorn How do I do that

c = 0
...
for j in range(2 * i + 1):
  print(c % 10, end="")
  c += 1

same for all times you print j in the loop
