Python inverted number pyramid exercise

This is an example of a correct pyramid.

this is how my pyramid has to look like.

I have this exercise as homework but I cant figure it out.

The code i’ve tried so far is this one and I can’t make it inverted:

n = 5
for i in range(n, 0, -1):
       for j in range(n, i-1, -1):
           print(j, end=" ") 
    
       print(" ")

n = int(input("What's the number: "))

for i in range(n, 0, -1):
    for j in range(i, 0, -1):
        print(j, end="")
    print()

Works for me.

The trick is to start the second loop "j" with the decrementing "i" downwards.

Imagine you are doing not a pyramid, but printing

5 4 3 2 1 n times.

Something like

You would start i and j at the same index, n, and just repeat the task.

Here, you start j at i, so each time i gets decremented, j starts from the decremented i, thus making a pyramid effect.

Hope you understand 🙂
