倒金字塔（PY）

Question

So I have an assignment that requires me to print an upside down pyramid made out of asterisks in Python. I know how to print out a normal pyramid but how do I flip it? The height of the pyramid is determined by the input of the user. This is what I have for the normal pyramid:

#prompting user for input
p = int(input("Enter the height of the pyramid: "))


#starting multiple loops
for i in range(1,p+1): 
  for j in range(p-i):
    #prints the spacing
     print(" ",end='')
  #does the spacing on the left side
  for j in range(1,i):
    print("*",end='')
  for y in range(i,0,-1):
    print("*",end='')

  #does the spacing on the right side
  for x in range(p-i):
    print(" ",end='')



  #prints each line of stars
  print("")

Output:

Enter the height of the pyramid: 10
         *         
        ***        
       *****       
      *******      
     *********     
    ***********    
   *************   
  ***************

If you want to reverse the pyramid, just reverse the outer loop. Thanks to the magic of python , you can just use the reversed builtin function. Also, you can simplify the body of the loop a little bit using string multiplication and the str.center function.

for i in reversed(range(p)):
    print(('*' * (1+2*i)).center(1+2*p))
