How can I display text in pyramid shape in Python?-CodePudding

I am trying to display any string in pyramid shape e.g. if I am to enter 'adil', I want to display it like

a
ad
adi
adil

inp = input('Enter something: ')
l = len(inp)

i=0
while i < l:
    for j in range(l):
        print(inp[j])
        i =1

CodePudding user response：

You can use slicing and format strings:

fmt='{:^' str(len(s) 1) 's}' # format strings centers text 
for i in range(1,len(s) 1): print(fmt.format(s[:i]))

Works (optically) better with longer strings

An alternative, this will print it like a pyramid (triangle):

inp = "adil"

for i, l in enumerate(inp):
    print(inp[:i 1].center(len(inp)))

Output:


 a  
 ad 
adi 
adil

Or, remove center to print like the example in your question:

inp = "adil"

for i, l in enumerate(inp):
    print(inp[:i 1])
