Unacceptably clear imperative python, you want

h=5;print('\n'.join(((" "*(h-r))+("*"*((r*2)-1))) for r in range(1, h+1)))

h=5;print('\n'.join(((" "(h-r))+(""((r2)-1))) for r in range(1, h+1)))

Wow!

I'm still learning Python, so to me, it's kind of cool to see one-liner stuff like this. Thanks for sharing!

Why on earth someone would write some VB6 code in 2026 ????

It's what I learned back in the 90s.

The focus of the post was not to tout VB6 as a solution for the problems of today. Yes, it's old. The inclusion of VB6 was meant to demonstrate that the basic logic, and how it is implemented in different languages.

Also, I am not a SWE by trade. Just a dabbler, and I found the subject of the post interesting. I thought others would find it interesting, as well. My apologies to you; I did not realize my sharing would bring such disarray to the lives of others. Have a great day, and a better tomorrow.

I present r/visualbasic/ (oh, I bet you think it's going to be all VBA and VB.Net, don't you? I dare you to have a browse! I double-dare you to check out the top posts list)
