Python Program to print pattern of letter G

Hello everyone! Welcome back to programminginpython.com. I am continuing with this pattern programming series, here I will tell you how to print the pattern of the letter G. In the previous tutorials, I have shown you the patterns of letters A to F. Here it’s now time for Pattern G. You can check the complete series on letter patterns here.

Print Pattern G – Code Visualization

Task:

Python program to print the pattern of letter G

Approach:

  • Read an input integer for asking the size of the letter using input()
  • Check if the entered number is greater than 8,
    • if yes, call the function print_pattern()
    • else, show a message to enter a number which is greater or equal to 8
  • print_pattern()
    • here we only do two things, print star(*) and print space( ), just writing conditions so the pattern of *‘s and ‘s will display the pattern ‘G’
    • following are 5 conditions for printing *’s
      We have 2 loops, outer loop() for rows and an inner loop for columns.

      # Outer for loop
          for row in range(n): 
      
              # Inner for loop 
              for column in range(n):

      Print first row
      (row == 0 and (column != 0 and column != n-1)

      Print last row
      (row == n - 1 and (column != 0 and column != n-1))

      print first column
      ((column == 0 and (row != 0 and row != n-1))

      print last column
      (column == n-1 and row != n-1 and row >= (n/2)-1))

      print middle column
      (row == (n/2)-1 and ((n/2)-1 <= column < n-1))

    • print in remaining all cases.

        print()

size = int(input("Enter size: \t"))

if size < 8:
    print("Enter a size greater than 8")
else:
    print_pattern(size)
