nested loops

[leonardo]

hi everyone,

i have the following program:

import time
count_timer = int(raw_input('how many seconds?: '))
for i in range(count_timer, 0, -1):
print i
time.sleep(1)
print 'blast off!'


this is the result:

how many seconds?: 5
5
4
3
2
1
blast off!

how can i have it print a row of stars beside each number, like this?:

how many seconds?: 5
5 * * * * *
4 * * * *
3 * * *
2 * *
1 *
blast off!

how can i have it print a row of stars beside each number, like this?:

how many seconds?: 5
5 * * * * *
4 * * * *
3 * * *
2 * *
1 *
blast off!

You could use the repetition operator * since you have the number of
repetitions needed in i. Alternatively, considering the subject, you'd
just add another for loop to print the stars and spaces.

Hi!

--- snip ---
sec = int(input("How many seconds? "))
for i in range(0,sec):
print str(sec-i)+":"+" *"*(sec-i)
print "blast off!"
--- snip ---

Please note: the value for the upper bound is not included in the range.
In my example, the actual range is from 0 to 4.

HTH,
Kimmo
