• 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.

just while loops

Are we supposed to help people with school assignement in this server ?

Anyway, remember than a for is nothing more than a while but automatically calculating the next value. You can compute it yourself to make something like a for but with a while

[ripe sleet]

Sure. We just don't do the assignment for them, just help them do it.

[ripe sleet]

Can you write a for-loop for the first part? The asterisks moving right? Then we can translate it to a while.

[worldly linden]

As in using a for loop or writing a while loop in terms of a for loop?

[ripe sleet]

Whichever. Your assignment requires a while loop. You could do that directly, or write a for-loop and then turn it into a while loop.
