This is my code. How do I make bownew = multiple rows of *'s? I do not want to just print for x in range(height):print bownew. I want bownew to be equal to the for x in range(height). How can this be done?
height = int(input("Enter an odd number greater than 4: "));
column = height * 2;
screen = [];
bownew = ""
def bow(height):
for x in range(height):
screen.append(["*"]*column);
bow(height);
for i in screen:
bownew = " ".join(i)
print(bownew)
Don't use a for loop, join wants the list as the argument. And if you want it to have multiple lines, join them with newlines.
bownew = "\n".join(screen)
You also need to make screen a list of strings, not a list of lists:
def bow(height):
for x in range(height):
screen.append("*" * column);
The whole script:
height = int(input("Enter an odd number greater than 4: "));
column = height * 2;
screen = [];
bownew = ""
def bow(height):
for x in range(height):
screen.append("*" * column);
bow(height);
bownew = "\n".join(screen)
print(bownew)
Test run:
$ python test.py
Enter an odd number greater than 4: 5
**********
**********
**********
**********

screen. It's a list of lists, not a list of strings. Try "*"*column instead of ["*"]*column1.There might be a simpler solution, that requires no use of for loop
height = int('Enter an odd number greater than 4: ')
column = height * 2
row = '*' * column
bownew = [row] * height
bownew = '\n'.join(bownew)
print(bownew)
,and I have tested it, it works.
Enter an odd number greater than 4: 5
**********
**********

2. As for the question(How to set variable equal to for loop in python?), I suspect that you can not make a variable equal to any loop unless you use def .
The use of def will be
height = int('Enter an odd number greater than 4: ')
column = height * 2
def bownew(height, column):
for i in range(height):
print('*' * column)
bownew(height, column)
This should give you the same result.
Happy coding, hope this is helpful.
