How can I make a triangle of hashes upside-down in python

I have to do a hash triangle using this function:

def line(num=int, word=str):
   if word == "":
       print("*" * num)
   else:
       print(word[0] * num)

Here is the code i have:

def line(num=int, word=str):
    if word == "":
        print("*" * num)
    else:
        print(word[0] * num)

def triangle(size):
    # You should call function line here with proper parameters
    
    while size > 0:
        
        line(size, "#")
        size -= 1

the output is this:

how can i modify it so it prints that?

>Solution :

You are starting from size and going to 1 you should do the opposite:

i = 0
while i <= size:
    i += 1
    ...

Also for i in range(1, size + 1) would be more pythonic 😉
