Python Program to Print W Star Pattern

Write a Python program to print W star pattern using for loop. In this code, the printStars function iterate and displays the stars, and the printSpaces prints the spaces to print the W shape.

def printStars(rows):
    for i in range(rows):
        print('*', end = '')

def printSpaces(rows):
    for i in range(rows):
        print(end = ' ')
        
rows = int(input("Enter W Star Pattern Rows = "))

print("====The W Star Pattern====")

for i in range(rows):
    printStars(i + 1)
    printSpaces(rows - i - 1)
    printStars(rows - i + 1)
    printSpaces(2 * i)
    printStars(rows - i)
    printSpaces(rows - i - 1)
    printStars(i + 1);
    print()

In this example, both the functions allows entering any character and prints the W pattern of a given character using a while loop.

def printStars(rows, ch):
    i = 0
    while(i < rows):
        print('%c' %ch, end = '')
        i = i + 1

def printSpaces(rows):
    i = 0
    while(i < rows):
        print(end = ' ')
        i = i + 1
        
rows = int(input("Enter W Star Pattern Rows = "))
ch = input("Enter Character = ")


i = 0
while(i < rows):
    printStars(i + 1, ch)
    printSpaces(rows - i - 1)
    printStars(rows - i + 1, ch)
    printSpaces(2 * i)
    printStars(rows - i, ch)
    printSpaces(rows - i - 1)
    printStars(i + 1, ch);
    print()
    i = i + 1

Enter W Star Pattern Rows = 14
Enter Character = #
