This Python code snippet generates a pattern that involves stars (*
) and vertical bars (|
). The pattern is a combination of right-aligned stars followed by vertical bars, resembling a right triangle shape.
n = 10
for i in range(0, n):
for j in range(1, n - i):
print(" ", end="")
print("*", end="")
for k in range(0, i):
print("|", end="")
for j in range(1, i):
print("|", end="")
if i > 0:
print("*", end="")
print()
