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 I. In the previous tutorials, I have shown you the patterns of letters A to H. Here it’s now time for Pattern I. You can check the complete series on letter patterns here.

for columns in range(n):

if ((rows == 0 or rows == n-1) or
# prints middle column
(columns == n // 2)
