I'm trying to figure out how to print a one line string while using a for loop. If there are other ways that you know of, I would appreciate the help. Thank you. Also, try edit off my code!
times = int(input("Enter a number: "))
print(times)
a = 0
for i in range(times+1):
print("*"*i)
a += i
print("Total stars: ")
print(a)
print("Equation: ")
for e in range(1,times+1):
print(e)
if e != times:
print("+")
else:
pass
Out:
Enter a number: 5
*
**
***
****
*****
Equation:
1
+
2
+
3
+
4
+
5
How do I make the equation in just one single line like this:
1+2+3+4+5
I don't think you can do a "backspace" after you've printed. At least erasing from the terminal isn't going to be done very easily. But you can build the string before you print it:
times = int(input("Enter a number: "))
print(times)
a = 0
for i in range(times+1):
print("*"*i)
a += i
print("Total stars: ")
print(a)
print("Equation: ")
equation_string = ""
for e in range(1,times+1):
equation_string += str(e)
if e != times:
equation_string += "+"
else:
pass
print(equation_string)
Basically, what happens is you store the temporary equation in equation_str so it's built like this:
1
1+
1+2
1+2+
...
And then you print equation_str once it's completely built. The output of the modified program is this
Enter a number: 5
5

Total stars:
15
Equation:
