Python Program to Print X Pattern of Alphabets

In this Python program, you will learn to print the X pattern of alphabets using for loop, while loop, and functions. The below example accepts the user-entered rows, and the nested for loop iterates the rows and columns. Next, the if else in this program will print the X-shaped alphabet pattern.

rows = int(input("Enter Rows = "))
a = 65

for i in range(rows):
    for j in range(rows):
        if i == j or j == rows - 1 - i:
            print('%c' % (a + j), end='')
        else:
            print(' ', end='')
    print()

Enter Rows = 13
A           M
 B         L 
  C       K  
   D     J   
    E   I    
     F H     
      G      
     F H     
    E   I    
   D     J   
  C       K  
 B         L 
A           M

Instead of a For loop, this program uses the while loop to iterate the rows and columns and prints the X pattern of the alphabet at each position. For more alphabet pattern programs >> Click Here.

rows = int(input("Enter Rows = "))
a = 65

i = 0
while i < rows:
    j = 0
    while j < rows:
        if i == j or j == rows - 1 - i:
            print('%c' % (a + j), end='')
        else:
            print(' ', end='')
        j = j + 1
    print()
    i += 1

Enter Rows = 11
A         K
 B       J 
  C     I  
   D   H   
    E G    
     F     
    E G    
   D   H   
  C     I  
 B       J 
A         K

This Python program allows the user to enter the rows. Next, the XpatternAlphabet function uses nested for loops to print the alphabets on rows and columns of an X pattern.

def XpatternAlphabet(rows):
    a = 65
    for i in range(rows):
        for j in range(rows):
            if i == j or j == rows - 1 - i:
                print('%c' % (a + j), end='')
            else:
                print(' ', end='')
        print()


n = int(input("Enter Rows = "))
XpatternAlphabet(n)
