Chapter 4, Problem 14PE
Program Plan Intro
Nested loops to draw the pattern
- • Declare the necessary variables in the program.
- • The “for” condition is used to check until it reaches the range of “value_size”.
- ○ The inner “for” condition is used to iterate the “column” until it reaches the range “value_size, row, -1”.
- ■ Prints the special character “*” on the output screen.
- ○ Move to the next row of the pattern.
- ○ The inner “for” condition is used to iterate the “column” until it reaches the range “value_size, row, -1”.

Create a program that uses INITIALS M and P to create a pattern using nested loops. The pattern is up to you; however, your initial needs to appear at least eight times in the pattern.
Construct a single for loop to print out the following lines. You may use as many variables as you wish, but you may not use multiple loops.

Write a program that generates a random number and asks the user to guess what the number is. If the user’s guess is higher than the random number, the program should display “Too high, try again.” If the user’s guess is lower than the random number, the program should display “Too low, try again.” The program should use a loop that repeats until the user correctly guesses the random number.

- 3. The Math subtraction learning tool program generates just one question for each run. You can use a loop to generate questions repeatedly. Therefore, write a program that generates five questions and reports the number of the correct answers after a student answers all five questions. (The output of your program should be like the following but you should try different numbers) What is 9 -27 7 You are correct! What is 307 3 You are correct! What is 3 27 1 You are correct! What is 7- 47 4 Your answer is wrong. 7- 4 should be 3. What is 757 4 Your answer is wrong. 7- 5 should be 2 Correct count is 3 Test time is 1021 seconds 9-2-7 correct 3-0-3 correct 3-2-1 correct 7-4-4 wrong 7-5-4 wrongarrow_forwardPython Coding-While Loops (In PyCharm Community edition) Create a while loop that SUMS up ALL the numbers given from an initial number and an ending number. Example would be : Input1 : What is the first number? 0 Input2 : What is the last number? 3 DO NOT SHOW but these are the computations inside the code : 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 This is the Output : The sum of all the number from 0 to 3, is 6 In the code you are going to use a total variable and add each additional time it runs through the loop to that total. REMEMBER the assignment from the first unit of programming where we used this formula : BUT you are going to create your own method using a while loop to emulate what formula accomplishes WITHOUT using this formula. The user will put in the first number and the last to be SUMMED - you will use the while loop to calculate all of the additions leading to the final number.arrow_forwardWrite a code that will loop by inputting any integer and displays whether the integer is “POSITIVE” or “NEGATIVE”, and terminate the loop if the integer is equal to zero using while loops.arrow_forward

The program should first ask the user for the number of years. The outer loop will iterate once for each year. The inner loop will iterate 12 times, once for each month. Each iteration of the inner loop will ask the user for the inches of rainfall for that month. After all iterations, the program should display the number of months, the total inches of rainfall, and the average rainfall per month for the entire period. Add additional loops to validate the input: Do not accept a number less than 1 for the number of years. Continue to prompt the user for a number until a valid number is entered. Do not accept negative numbers for the monthly rainfall. Continue to prompt the user for a number until a valid number is enteredarrow_forwardn is an integer variable.Write a while loop that prints integer numbers starting with n and dividing the number to 4 each time, while the new number is greater than 0.(Example: If n is 2077, it will print 2077 519 129 ...)Write only the statements to perform the above explained task, nothing else.Use while loop, don't use for loop.arrow_forward
