Help w/ easy python problem

[r2_r2]

I am very much a beginner to python. I have been working on writing a
very simple program and cannot get it and was hoping someone could help
me out. Basically i need to write a code to print a sin curve running
down the page from top to bottom. The trick is I have to do this using
only 7-8 lines of code. Any ideas?

Actually, it is not a sin curve i need to plot, it is dots running down
the page in the shape of a sin curve like this

etc...

Seems, like a homework to me

Anyway, use the following hints:

math.sin() is your sine function, ranging, from -1.0 to 1.0 inclusively
set up a for loop printing the strings containing spaces, and one dot at
the appropriate location with:
- the appropriate argument increase step between the lines (print
statements)
- the appropriate scaling of the <-1.0, 1.0> range into e.g. <0, 71>,
representing the 72 characters wide lines being printed.

This sounds like homework, and I think you should do that on your own.
One hint, though: You could take a look at the standard module math.

Yes : do your homework yourself. When you'll run into trouble with
*your* code, then post here for help.
