Python Program to Print K Star Pattern

This article shows how to write a Python program to print the Alphabet K star pattern using the for loop, while loop, and functions with an example. 

The below alphabet K star pattern example accepts the user-entered rows and the nested for loop iterates the rows. The If else condition is to print stars at a few positions to get the Alphabetical K pattern of stars and skip others.

rows = int(input("Enter Alphabet K of Stars Rows = "))
print("====The Alphabet K Star Pattern====")

n = rows // 2
for i in range(rows):
    print("*", end="")
    for j in range(n + 1):
        if j == abs(n - i):
            print("*", end="")
        else:
            print(end=" ")
    print()

Python program to print the Alphabet K Star pattern using while loop

Instead of a For loop, this program uses the while loop to iterate the Alphabet K pattern rows and prints the stars at the required positions. Here, the abs function returns the absolute positive value. For more Star Pattern programs >> Click Here.

rows = int(input("Enter Alphabet K of Stars Rows = "))

n = rows // 2
i = 0
while i < rows:
    print("*", end="")
    j = 0
    while j < n + 1:
        if j == abs(n - i):
            print("*", end="")
        else:
            print(end=" ")
        j = j + 1
    print()
    i = i + 1

Enter Alphabet K of Stars Rows = 13

In this Python example, we created a KPattern function that accepts the rows and the symbol or character to print the Alphabet K pattern of the given symbol.

def KPattern(rows, ch):
    n = rows // 2
    for i in range(rows):
        print('%c' %ch, end='')
        for j in range(n + 1):
            if j == abs(n - i):
                print('%c' %ch, end='')
            else:
                print(end=" ")
        print()


row = int(input("Enter Alphabet K of Stars Rows = "))
sy = input("Symbol for K Star Pattern = ")
KPattern(row, sy)

Enter Alphabet K of Stars Rows = 14
Symbol for K Star Pattern = $
