In this article we display a sandglass pattern using python
Code
rows = int(input("Enter amount of Rows = "))
print("====Pattern====")
for i in range(0, rows):
for j in range(0, i):
print(end = ' ')
for k in range(i, rows):
print('*', end = ' ')
print()
for i in range(rows - 1, -1, -1):
for j in range(0, i):
print(end = ' ')
for k in range(i, rows):
print('*', end = ' ')
print()
When you run this you would see something like this
Alternative
def drawSandglass(rows, ch):
for i in range(0, rows):
for j in range(0, i):
print(end = ' ')
for k in range(i, rows):
print('%c' %ch, end = ' ')
print()
for i in range(rows - 1, -1, -1):
for j in range(0, i):
print(end = ' ')
for k in range(i, rows):
print('%c' %ch, end = ' ')
print()
rows = int(input("Enter amount of Rows = "))
char = input("Symbol to use = " )
print("====Pattern====")
drawSandglass(rows, char)
