I\'m trying to figure out how to turn my whole square into a hollow one. The few things I\'ve tried so far haven\'t been very successful as I end up getting present
Nice python library that will do this...
termshape - https://github.com/zvibazak/termshape
from termshape import get_rectangle
print(get_rectangle(10, 5))
* * * * * * * * * *
* *
* *
* *
* * * * * * * * * *
size = int(input('Enter the size of square you want to print = '))
for i in range(size): # This defines the rows
for j in range(size): # This defines the columns
print('*' , end=' ') # Printing * and " end=' ' " is giving space after every * preventing from changing line
print() # Giving a command to change row after every column in a row is done
print() # Leaving one line
for k in range(size): # This defines the rows
print('* ' *size) # Defines how many times * should be multiplied
Try this:
size = 5
for i in range(1,size+1):
if (i==1 or i==size):
print("*"*size)
else:
print("*"+" "*(size-2),end="")
print("*")
output:
*****
* *
* *
* *

You can print out a single '*'
, followed by size-2
spaces, then a single '*'
. This will give you the "hollow" portion. The first and last lines need the full length:
size = 5
inner_size = size - 2
print ('*' * size)
for i in range(inner_size):
print ('*' + ' ' * inner_size + '*')
print ('*' * size)
Here is my python 3.6 code for drawing a square using column size and row size inputs:
column = int(input("Enter column size : "))
row = int(input("Enter row size : "))
print('* ' * column)
print(('* ' + " " * (column-2)+ '*'+'\n')*(row -2) + ('* ' * column))
You can also draw a triangle using this simple way:
n = int(input("enter num")) for i in range (n+1):
if 2>=i :
print (i * "*")
elif n == i:
print ("*" * i)
else:
print ("*"+" "*(i-2)+"*")
