Python | Print an Inverted Star Pattern

Here we are going to print inverted star pattern of desired sizes.
Examples:

1) Below is the inverted star pattern of size n=5 
  (Because there are 5 horizontal lines
   or rows consist of stars). 

   *****
    ****
     ***
      **
       *

2) Below is the inverted star pattern of size n=10 
  (Because there are 5 horizontal lines
   or rows consist of stars).

   **********
    *********
     ********
      *******
       ******
        *****
         ****
          ***
           **
            *

Let’s see Python program to print inverted star pattern:

# python 3 code to print inverted star
# pattern 
 
# n is the number of rows in which
# star is going to be printed.
n=11
 
# i is going to be enabled to
# range between n-i t 0 with a
# decrement of 1 with each iteration.
# and in print function, for each iteration,
# ” ” is multiplied with n-i and ‘*’ is
# multiplied with i to create correct
# space before of the stars.
for i in range (n, 0, -1):
    print((n-i) * ' ' + i * '*')

Explanation:

  • The first number of rows is stored in variable n.
  • Then the for loop enables i to range between n-i to 0 with a decrement of 1 with each iteration.
  • After that, for each iteration, ” ” is multiplied with n-i and ‘*’ is multiplied with i to create correct space before of the stars.
  • And finally desired pattern will be printed.

Output:

        ***
         **
