This question already has an answer here: How to recreate pyramid triangle? 3 answers I have to write a recursive function asterisk_triangle which takes an integer and then returns an asterisk triangle consisting of that many lines. For e.g this is a 4 line asterisk triangle. * ** *** **** I came up with this function: def asterisk_triangle(n): """ takes an integer n and then returns an asterisk triangle consisting of (n) many lines """ x = 1 while (x <= n): print("*" * x) x = x + 1 return And also I had to create an upside down asterisk triangle by manipulating the first function. I came up

Let's say I have this list of asterisks, and I say it to print this way: list = ['* *', '*', '* * *', '* * * * *', '* * * * * *', '* * * *'] for i in list: print i So here, the output is: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * But I want the output to be vertical, like this: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Any tips on doing this? I've tried to conceptualize how to use things like list comprehension or for-loops for this, but haven't got it quite right. myList = ['* *', '*', '* * *', '* * * * *', '* * * * * *', '* * * *'] import itertools for i in itertools.izip_longest(*myList,

I've written a program in C++ that displays a pyramid of asterisk (see below) and now I'd like to see how it's done in Python but it's not as easy as I'd thought it would be. Has anyone tried this and if so could you show me code that would help out? Thanks in advance. * *** ***** ******* ********* *********** ************* *************** def pyramid(rows=8): for i in range(rows): print ' '*(rows-i-1) + '*'*(2*i+1) pyramid(8) * *** ***** ******* ********* *********** ************* *************** pyramid(12) * *** ***** ******* ********* *********** ************* *************** *************

In a console app, an ascii spinner can be used, like the GUI wait cursor, to indicate that work is being done. A common spinner cycles through these 4 characters: '|', '/', '-', '\' What are some other cyclical animation sequences to spice up a console application?

I have to make a program that reads in a file from the command line and covert it to ASCII art. I am using PPM format and here is a link to the project . Here is what I have so far: import sys def main(filename): image = open(filename) #reads through the first three lines color = image.readline().splitlines() size_width, size_height = image.readline().split() max_color = image.readline().splitlines() #reads the body of the file pixels = image.read().split() red = 0 green = 0 blue = 0 r_g_b_value = [] #pulls out the values of each tuple and coverts it to its grayscale value for i in pixels: if
