$ python mario.py
Height: 4
   #

No check50 for this problem, but be sure to test your code for each of the following.

  • Run your program as python mario.py and wait for a prompt for input. If you input is not a positive integer or integer greater than 8, your program will print please give input between 1 and 8.
  • Run your program as python mario.py and wait for a prompt for input. Type in 1 and press enter. Your program should generate the below output. Be sure that the pyramid is aligned to the bottom-left corner of your terminal, and that there are no extra spaces at the end of each line.

  • Run your program as python mario.py and wait for a prompt for input. Type in 2 and press enter. Your program should generate the below output. Be sure that the pyramid is aligned to the bottom-left corner of your terminal, and that there are no extra spaces at the end of each line.

This is a simple challenge, but if you want to take on a more difficult one, try it on the website

goal

  • Write, in a file called mario.py in /home/project, a program that recreates the half-pyramid using hashes (#) for blocks.
  • To make things more interesting, first prompt the user with input for the half-pyramid’s height, a positive integer between 1 and 8, inclusive.
  • If the user fails to provide a positive integer no greater than 8, you should re-prompt for the same again.
  • Then, generate (with the help of print and one or more loops) the desired half-pyramid.
  • Take care to align the bottom-left corner of your half-pyramid with the left-hand edge of your terminal window.

reminder

  • input
  • for loop
  • if...else

height = int(input("Height: "))


if height > 0 and height < 9:
    for i in range(height):
        print(" "*(height-i)+"#"*(i+1))
else:
    print("please give input between 1 and 8")
