Python Program to Print L Star Pattern

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

The below alphabet L 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 the first column and last row to get the Alphabetical L pattern of stars and skip others.

rows = int(input("Enter Alphabet L of Stars Rows = "))
print("====The Alphabet L Star Pattern====")
for i in range(rows):
    print("*", end="")
    for j in range(rows + 1):
        if i == rows - 1:
            print("*", end="")
        else:
            print(end=" ")
    print()

Enter Alphabet L of Stars Rows = 8
====The Alphabet L Star Pattern====
*         
*         
*         
*         
*         
*         
*         
**********

This Python code is another version of writing the Alphabetical L pattern of stars.

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

for i in range(rows):
    for j in range(rows + 1):
        if i == rows - 1 or j == 0:
            print("*", end="")
        else:
            print(end=" ")
    print()

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

Instead of a For loop, this program uses the while loop to iterate the Alphabet L pattern rows and prints the stars at the first column and last row position. For more Star Pattern programs >> Click Here.

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

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

Enter Alphabet L of Stars Rows = 13
*             
*             
*             
*             
*             
*             
*             
*             
*             
*             
*

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

In this Python example, we created an LPattern function that accepts the rows and the symbol or character to print the Alphabet L pattern of the given symbol.

def LPattern(rows, ch):
    for i in range(rows):
        for j in range(rows + 1):
            if i == rows - 1 or j == 0:
                print('%c' %ch, end='')
            else:
                print(end=" ")
        print()


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

Enter Alphabet L of Stars Rows = 11
Symbol for L Star Pattern = ^
