Question

This is in python language.
I need to print this pattern, depending on the number of lines a user enters:

‘##’
‘# #’

The next pattern is three spaces away and so on…

This is my code but it prints the second number sign on a different line. I need them to go on the same line.

 def drawPatternIII (lines):
   for i in range(lines):
      for j in range(1):
          print('#')
      for j in range(i+1):
          print (' ', end = '')
      print ('#')

please help!

Answer 1

You would need to add end="" to the first print() call. While you are at it, remove the pointless for loop with a single iteration.

A concise alternative would be

for i in range(lines):
    print("#" + " "*i + "#")
