Question

Use Python and only while loops

For this part of the homework you will write code to draw an isosceles right triangle. (A right triangle in which the height and base are the same size.)

Your program should prompt the user for these inputs, in exactly this order: 1. The height of their triangle
2. The symbol the triangle will be outlined in
3. The symbol the triangle will be filled with

For these inputs, you can assume the following:

 The height will be a positive integer (greater than zero)

 The symbols will be a single character each

Use the first symbol to draw an isosceles right triangle of the height chosen by the user. The triangle should be filled in with the second symbol, in the cases in which there is interior space to fill.

Answer 1

height = int(input("Enter the height of the triangle:"))
outsymbol = input("Enter the symbol for outlining the triangle:")
fillsymbol = input("Enter the symbol for filling the triangle:")
count = 0
while count < height:
   count1 = 0
   str1 = ""
   while count1 <= count:
       if count1 == 0:
          str1 = str1 + outsymbol
       elif count1 == count:
          str1 = str1 + outsymbol
       elif count1 > 0 and count1 < count and count < height - 1:
          str1 = str1 + fillsymbol
       elif count1 > 0 and count1 < count and count == height - 1:
          str1 = str1 + outsymbol
       count1 = count1 + 1
   print(str1)
   count = count + 1
