Answer:
STEP 1:-
Initialize the number of rows and columns.
for example:-
rows =7
columns=5
STEP 2:-
Nest two for loops. outer for loop will iterate rows and inner for loop will iterate columns.
Syntax of nesting two for loops
here i and j are iterators.
for i in range(0,row):
for j in range(0,col):
STEP 3:-
Now we will use proper condition to print circle
condition 1:- to print ‘*’at first and last column but not at first and last row,
condition2:-to print ‘*’at first and last rows but not at first and last columns.
if the above two conditions are not satisfied then print space (‘ ‘).
code to implement all conditions as follows:-
if((j == 0 or j == columns-1) and (i!=0 and i!=rows-1)) :
print('*',end='')
elif( ((i==0 or i==row-1) and (j>0 and j<columns-1))):
print('*',end='')
else:
print(end=' ')
EXAMPLE
Example to print circle pattern using ‘*’ is as follows
row =6
col=4
for i in range(0,row):
for j in range(0,col):
if((j == 0 or j == col-1) and (i!=0 and i!=row-1)) :
print('*',end='') #end='' so that print statement should not change the line.
elif( ((i==0 or i==row-1) and (j>0 and j<col-1))):
print('*',end='')
else:
print(end=' ') #to print the space.
print() #to change the line after iteration of inner loop.
output:-
**
* *

* *
