Patterns can be printed in python using simple for loops. First outer loop is used to handle number of rows and Inner nested loop is used to handle the number of columns. Manipulating the print statements, different number patterns, alphabet patterns or star patterns can be printed.
Some of the Patterns are shown in this article.
Simple pyramid pattern
Let us see how to print Half Triangle Pyramid pattern using an asterisk (star):
# Python 3.x code to demonstrate star pattern
# Function to demonstrate printing pattern
def pypart(n):
# outer loop to handle number of rows
# n in this case
for i in range(0, n):
# inner loop to handle number of columns
# values changing acc. to outer loop
for j in range(0, i+1):
# printing stars
print("* ",end="")
# ending line after each row
print("\r")
# Driver Code
n = 5
pypart(n)
Output:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
After 180 degree rotation
# Python 3.x code to demonstrate star pattern
# Function to demonstrate printing pattern
def pypart2(n):
# number of spaces
k = 2*n - 2
# outer loop to handle number of rows
for i in range(0, n):
# inner loop to handle number spaces
# values changing acc. to requirement
for j in range(0, k):
print(end=" ")
# decrementing k after each loop
k = k - 2
# inner loop to handle number of columns
# values changing acc. to outer loop
for j in range(0, i+1):
# printing stars
print("* ", end="")
# ending line after each row
print("\r")
# Driver Code
n = 5
pypart2(n)
python programming - Output :
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Let us see how to print Full Triangle Pyramid pattern using an asterisk (star) :
# Python 3.x code to demonstrate star pattern
# Function to demonstrate printing pattern triangle
def triangle(n):
# number of spaces
k = 2*n - 2
# outer loop to handle number of rows
for i in range(0, n):
# inner loop to handle number spaces
# values changing acc. to requirement
for j in range(0, k):
print(end=" ")
# decrementing k after each loop
k = k - 1
# inner loop to handle number of columns
# values changing acc. to outer loop
for j in range(0, i+1):
# printing stars
print("* ", end="")
# ending line after each row
print("\r")
# Driver Code
n = 5
triangle(n)
python programming - Output :
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Number Pattern
Here we will see how to print Half Triangle Pyramid pattern using numbers:
# Python 3.x code to demonstrate star pattern
# Function to demonstrate printing pattern of numbers
def numpat(n):
# initialising starting number
num = 1
# outer loop to handle number of rows
for i in range(0, n):
# re assigning num
num = 1
# inner loop to handle number of columns
# values changing acc. to outer loop
for j in range(0, i+1):
# printing number
print(num, end=" ")
# incrementing number at each column
num = num + 1
# ending line after each row
print("\r")
# Driver code
n = 5
numpat(n)
python programming - Output :
1 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 5
Numbers without re assigning
# Python 3.x code to demonstrate star pattern
# Function to demonstrate printing pattern of numbers
def contnum(n):
# initializing starting number
num = 1
# outer loop to handle number of rows
for i in range(0, n):
# not re assigning num
# num = 1
# inner loop to handle number of columns
# values changing acc. to outer loop
for j in range(0, i+1):
# printing number
print(num, end=" ")
# incrementing number at each column
num = num + 1
# ending line after each row
print("\r")
n = 5
# sending 5 as argument
# calling Function
contnum(n)
python programming - Output :
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Character Pattern
Here we will see how to print Half Triangle Pyramid pattern using continous characters:
# Python 3.x code to demonstrate star pattern
# Function to demonstrate printing pattern of alphabets
def alphapat(n):
# initializing value corresponding to 'A'
# ASCII value
num = 65
# outer loop to handle number of rows
# 5 in this case
for i in range(0, n):
# inner loop to handle number of columns
# values changing acc. to outer loop
for j in range(0, i+1):
# explicitely converting to char
ch = chr(num)
# printing char value
print(ch, end=" ")
# incrementing number
num = num + 1
# ending line after each row
print("\r")
# Driver Code
n = 5
alphapat(n)
python programming - Output :
A B B C C C D D D D E E E E E
Continuous Character pattern
Here we will see how to print Half Triangle Pyramid pattern using alphabets:
python - Sample - python code :
# Python code 3.x to demonstrate star pattern
# Function to demonstrate printing pattern of alphabets
def contalpha(n):
# initializing value corresponding to 'A'
# ASCII value
num = 65
# outer loop to handle number of rows
- for i in range(0, n):
# inner loop to handle number of columns
# values changing acc. to outer loop
for j in range(0, i+1):
# explicitely converting to char
ch = chr(num)
# printing char value
print(ch, end=" ")
# incrementing at each column
num = num +1
# ending line after each row
print("\r")
# Driver code
n = 5
contalpha(n)
python programming - Output :
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O
