3.2.1. Cakes
Write a Python program that asks the user to enter a number of layers, and then uses nested loops to draw the ASCII art cake pattern shown in the sample terminal below.
Sample Output
Use the values in Table 3.1 below to
test your program.
Ensure your program’s output matches the provided samples exactly.
This includes all characters, white space, and punctuation. In the
samples, user input is highlighted like
this for clarity, but your program should not highlight user
input in this way.
Case 1 Sample Output
$ python3 cakes_login.py
Enter the number of layers: 6
[*]
[***]
[*****]
[*******]
[*********]
[***********]
Case 2 Sample Output
$ python3 cakes_login.py
Enter the number of layers: 3
[*]
[***]
[*****]
Deliverables
Save your finished program as cakes_login.py, replacing
login with your Purdue login. Then submit it along with all the
deliverables listed in Table 3.2
below.
