Nested `for` loops are used to display patterns by using asterisks (`*`), numbers, and letters. We can display a plus pattern in Python. This is shown in the figure below:


## Example
The asterisk symbol (`*`) prints the plus shape pattern in the following code below:

#function for print plus pattern
def plusplattern(number):
  for x in range(1, number * 2):
    for y in range(1, number * 2):
      if (x==number) or (y==number):
            print('*', end='')  
      else: 
            print(' ', end='')  
    print() 

#driver code
plusplattern(3)

## Explanation
* **Line 2:** We define a  `pluspattern()`function which accepts a `number`. We display the pattern have `number` stars in each segment of the pattern.
* **Lines 3-9:** We use a nested `for` loop to print the pattern. The outer loop is used for the number of rows while the inner loop is used for the columns in the pattern.
* **Line 5:** We use `if` statement `(x==number) or (y==number)`. If it is true, we display the `*`, otherwise `' '`.
