Hello Programmers, In this post, you will know how to solve the Alphabet Rangoli in Python HackerRank Solution. This problem is a part of the HackerRank Python Programming Series.
One more thing to add, don’t directly look for the solutions, first try to solve the problems of Hackerrank by yourself. If you find any difficulty after trying several times, then you can look for solutions.
Alphabet Rangoli in Python HackerRank Solutions
problem
You are given an integer, N. Your task is to print an alphabet rangoli of size N. (Rangoli is a form of Indian folk art based on creation of patterns.)
Different sizes of alphabet rangoli are shown below:
#size 3 ----c---- --c-b-c-- c-b-a-b-c --c-b-c-- ----c---- #size 5 --------e-------- ------e-d-e------ ----e-d-c-d-e---- --e-d-c-b-c-d-e-- e-d-c-b-a-b-c-d-e --e-d-c-b-c-d-e-- ----e-d-c-d-e---- ------e-d-e------ --------e-------- #size 10 ------------------j------------------ ----------------j-i-j---------------- --------------j-i-h-i-j-------------- ------------j-i-h-g-h-i-j------------ ----------j-i-h-g-f-g-h-i-j---------- --------j-i-h-g-f-e-f-g-h-i-j-------- ------j-i-h-g-f-e-d-e-f-g-h-i-j------ ----j-i-h-g-f-e-d-c-d-e-f-g-h-i-j---- --j-i-h-g-f-e-d-c-b-c-d-e-f-g-h-i-j-- j-i-h-g-f-e-d-c-b-a-b-c-d-e-f-g-h-i-j --j-i-h-g-f-e-d-c-b-c-d-e-f-g-h-i-j-- ----j-i-h-g-f-e-d-c-d-e-f-g-h-i-j---- ------j-i-h-g-f-e-d-e-f-g-h-i-j------ --------j-i-h-g-f-e-f-g-h-i-j-------- ----------j-i-h-g-f-g-h-i-j---------- ------------j-i-h-g-h-i-j------------ --------------j-i-h-i-j-------------- ----------------j-i-j---------------- ------------------j------------------
The center of the rangoli has the first alphabet letter a, and the boundary has the Nth alphabet letter (in alphabetical order).
Input Format :
Only one line of input containing N, the size of the rangoli.
Constraints :
- 0 < N < 27
Output Format :
Print the alphabet rangoli in the format explained above.
Sample Input :
5
Sample Output :
--------e-------- ------e-d-e------ ----e-d-c-d-e---- --e-d-c-b-c-d-e-- e-d-c-b-a-b-c-d-e --e-d-c-b-c-d-e-- ----e-d-c-d-e---- ------e-d-e------ --------e--------
