0.1 Nested loops

Example:
• Two nested loops: outer loop whose body contains another loop
• Simple example: Given user input n, print the pattern:
1
12
123
…
123…n
[ ]: n = int(input("Enter n:"))
for i in range(1,n+1): # i is the line number
# Print the numbers 1...i followed by a new line:
# First print the numbers 1...i
for j in range(1,i+1):
print(j, end=' ')
# then print new line (default: end='\n')
print('')

Alternative implementation:

1
[ ]: n = int(input("Enter n:"))
for i in range(1,n+1):
for j in range(1,i):
print(j,end=' ')
print(i) # default end='\n'

Variation: Print in reverse

[ ]: n = int(input("Enter n:"))
for i in range(n,0,-1):
for j in range(1,i):
print(j,end=' ')
print(i) # default end='\n'
