I'm fairly new to programming, i have to start learning it for Uni.

I have to make a pattern as follow:

5 4 3 2 1
4 3 2 1
3 2 1
2 1
1

I have found ample examples of code for these patterns, just not for mine.

I cannot seem to get the numbers to line up vertically, only underneath each other:

5
4
3
2
14
3
2
1

what am i Missing ? I can't seem to find the exact function that other people are using to make their code act like this.

# Question 4.
import randomnum1 = random.choice([5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10])def print_triangle():for row in range(num1, 0, -1):for space in range(num1 - row):print ('')for col in range(row, 0, -1):print (col)print_triangle()

Edit by Ducky:

import randomnum1 = random.choice([5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10])def print_triangle():
for row in range(num1, 0, -1):for num in range(row, 0, -1):print(str(num) + " ", end="")print()print_triangle()

My answer:

def print_triangle():for row in range(10, 4, -1):for num in range(row, 0, -1):print(str(num) + " ", end="")print()print_triangle()

Output:

10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 
9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 
8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 
6 5 4 3 2 1 
5 4 3 2 1 

Or use:

def print_triangle(max_val, min_val):for row in range(max_val, min_val - 1, -1):for num in range(row, 0, -1):print(str(num) + " ", end="")print()print_triangle(10, 5)
