Print pattern ‘A’ in Python

Hello everyone! Welcome back to programminginpython.com. I am continuing with this pattern programming series, here I will tell you how to print the pattern of the letter ‘A’.

Also I will try to display the patterns for all other alphabets later in this series.

You can also watch the video on YouTube here.

Task:

Python program to print the pattern of letter ‘A’

Approach:

• Read an input integer for asking the sizeof the letter using  input()
• Check if the enter number is greater than 8,
  • if yes, call the function print_pattern()
  • else, show a message to enter number which is greater or equal to 8
• print_pattern()
  • here we only do two things, print star(*) and print space( ), just writing conditions so the pattern of *‘s and  ‘s will display the pattern ‘A’
  • following are 3 conditions for printing *’s
    We have 2 loops, outer loop() for row’s and inner loop for columns.
    
    # Outer for loop for i in range(n): # Inner for loop for j in range((n // 2) + 1):

    1 2 3 4 5

    # Outer for loop     for i in range(n):            # Inner for loop         for j in range((n // 2) + 1):

    1. 1. every line – at the start and end
          
          (j == 0 or j == n //2) and i != 0

          1	(j == 0 or j == n //2) and i != 0
       2. middle line – the whole line
          
          i == n // 2

          1	i == n // 2

       3. first line – whole line except first and last row
          
          i == 0 and j != 0 and j != n // 2

          1	i == 0 and j != 0 and j != n // 2

     

  • print   in remaining all cases.
