The code below prints the required shape using the string manipulations in Python.

In Python, if we multiply a character with a number, we get that character side by side that number of times.

For example: 6 * '#' would give us → ######

Also, we can use + sign to concatenate the strings.

For example: 'hi' + ' there' would give us → hi there

We use this approaches to print the required shape line by line.

Comments are used to explain each line.

The output is attached as an image.

#get the characters from the user

base_char = input()

head_char = input()

#set first row with 6 spaces and 1 head_char

row1 = 6 * ' ' + head_char

#set second row with 6 base_chars and 2 head_chars

row2 = 6 * base_char + 2 * head_char

#set third row with row2 and 1 head_char

row3 = row2 + head_char

#print the rows to draw the shape

print(row1)

print(row2)

print(row3)

print(row2)

print(row1)
