Challenge 3: Printing Pyramid

Explore how to use for loops in Perl to print a half pyramid pattern of the letter 'a'. This lesson helps you practice loop structures and managing output lines, reinforcing your understanding of Perl loops and console output formatting.

We'll cover the following...

Problem statement

Write code which prints half a pyramid of the alphabet a.

  • The code takes an integer variable $rows as input and prints the pyramid with that number of rows displaying a.

Hint: Use for loops to implement the solution.

Input

An integer.

Output

Print the character a on the console.

Sample input

$rows is equal to 5.

Sample output

Note: In order to move values to next line you can use \n.

Coding challenge

Write your code below. It is recommended that you try solving the exercise yourself before viewing the solution.

Good Luck!

Perl
#the $rows variable contains the number of rows that you need to print 
#write the code for making and printing the pyramid here
#use can use \n to move numers to next line in the pyramid
#use " " to add space between numbers in pyramid
 print"\n"; #comment out this line when you start writing code
