Answer 1

Instead of giving you the answer, I'm going to exam the problem and give some advise which I hope will help you with similar problems in the future.

1. We have input in the form of a number
2. The input is equal to the number of lines.
3. for every subsequent line, one additional star is added

Usually when we have a problem that involves repeating something X number of times, the easiest solution is to use a for-loop. Specifically a "for n in range(X)" loop. So if X = 5, then you would end up with "for n in range(5)".

One thing to keep in mind, though, is that the input() function produces strings. Strings aren't treated like actual numbers in programming. Therefor you must first convert this input into a usable number. You can do this using the int() function.

Answer 2

temp1 = input("please enter a number:")

stars = ""

for x in range(int(temp1)):

stars = stars + "*"

print(stars)
