Print Inverted Hollow Pyramid Star Pattern

Let’s look at the program for hollow inverted right triangle star pattern in python.

Enter the Number: 7

Hollow inverted right triangle star pattern in python

Working:

  • Step 1. Start
  • Step 2. Take number of rows as input from the user and stored it into num.
  • Step 3. Run a loop ‘i’ number of times to iterate through all the rows which is Starting from i=0 to num. 
  • Step 4. Run a nested loop inside the main loop for printing spaces which is starting from j=0 to i.
  • Step 5. Run a nested loop inside the main loop for printing stars which is starting from j=num*2 to (num*2 – (2*i – 1))+1.
  • Step 6. Inside the above loop print stars only if i == 1 or j == 1 or j ==(num*2 -(2*i-1)) in all other cases print a blank space.
  • Step 7. Move to the next line by printing a new line using print() function.
  • Step 8. Stop

Python Program:

Run 
num = int(input("Enter the Number: "))

for i in range(1, num+1):
    for j in range(0, i):
        print(" ", end="")

    for j in range(1, (num*2 - (2*i - 1))+1):
        if i == 1 or j == 1 or j ==(num*2 -(2*i-1)):
            print("*", end="")
        else:
            print(" ", end="")
    print()

Output

Enter the Number: 7
 *************
  *         *
   *       *
    *     *
     *   *
      * *

    TRY THIS BRO, IT’S WAY EASIER;
    n = int(input(‘enter a number: ‘))

    for i in range(n):
    if i == 0:
    print(‘*’*(n*2-1))
    elif i == n-1:
    print(‘ ‘*(n-1) + ‘*’)
    else:
    print(‘ ‘*i + ‘*’ + ‘ ‘*(2*(n-1-i)-1) + ‘*’)

    n=int(input(‘Enter number:’))
    for i in range(n):
    for j in range(i):
    print(‘ ‘,end=”)
    for j in range(i,(2*n)-(i+1)):
    if j==i or i==0 or j==(2*n)-(i+2):
    print(‘*’,end=”)
    else:
    print(‘ ‘,end=”)
    print()

    # Inverted Hollow Pyramid Star Pattern Method – 2

    n=int(input(“Enter the number: “))
    for i in range(1,n+1):
    for j in range(1,2*n):

    # Condition of the if function
    if(i==1 and j%2!=0) or i==j or i+j==n*2:
