Hello everyone, welcome back to programminginpython.com! I am going to create a new series on pattern programming, I will start with Floyd’s Triangle pattern.
A Floyd’s Triangle is a right-angled triangle which is defined by filling the rows of the triangle with consecutive numbers, starting with a 1 in the top left corner. It can also be filled with *’s or any characters as we want. Here I will show you two examples one with numbers and one with *’s.
You can also watch the video on YouTube here.
Task
Python Program to print a Floyd’s Triangle.
Approach
- Read an input integer for asking the range of the triangle using
input() - Run 2 for loops, one for column looping and other for row looping, in the first loop, loop through the range of the triangle for column looping
- In the second loop, loop through the value of 1st loop + 1, this is for row looping
- Now print the index value for printing triangle with numbers and print * for printing triangle with *’s

Output
