22. Alphabet Pattern 'M'

Write a Python program to print the alphabet pattern 'M'.

Pictorial Presentation:

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Initialize an empty string named 'result_str'
result_str = ""

# Iterate through rows from 0 to 6 using the range function
for row in range(0, 7):
    # Iterate through columns from 0 to 6 using the range function
    for column in range(0, 7):
        # Check conditions to determine whether to place '*' or ' ' in the result string
        
        # If conditions are met, place '*' in specific positions based on row and column values
        if (column == 1 or column == 5 or (row == 2 and (column == 2 or column == 4)) or (row == 3 and column == 3)):
            result_str = result_str + "* "  # Append '*' followed by a space (' ') to the 'result_str'
        else:
            result_str = result_str + "  "  # Append two spaces ('  ') to the 'result_str'

    result_str = result_str + "\n"  # Add a newline character after each row in 'result_str'

# Print the final 'result_str' containing the pattern
print(result_str)

Sample Output:

  *       *                                                                                                   
  *       *                                                                                                   
  * *   * *                                                                                                   
  *   *   *                                                                                                   
  *       *                                                                                                   
  *       *                                                                                                   
  *       *
