Python Shape Programming Assignments

Below are six Python programming assignments for learning how to draw shapes using loops.

1. Draw a Solid Square

Write a function that prints a solid square of stars.

def draw_solid_square(size):
    # Your code here

draw_solid_square(5)

Example Output:

*****
*****
*****
*****
*****
        
def draw_solid_square(size):
    for i in range(size):
        print("*" * size)

2. Draw an Outline Square

Write a function that prints a hollow square.

def draw_outline_square(size):
    # Your code here

draw_outline_square(5)

Example Output:

*****
*   *
*   *
*   *
*****
        
def draw_outline_square(size):
    for i in range(size):
        if i == 0 or i == size - 1:
            print("*" * size)
        else:
            print("*" + " " * (size - 2) + "*")

3. Draw an Inner Empty Square

Write a function that prints a square with a border thickness.

def draw_inner_empty_square(size, thickness):
    # Your code here

draw_inner_empty_square(7, 2)

Example Output:

*******
*******
**   **
**   **
**   **
*******
*******
        
def draw_inner_empty_square(size, thickness):
    for i in range(size):
        for j in range(size):
            if i = size - thickness or j = size - thickness:
                print("*", end="")
            else:
                print(" ", end="")
        print()

4. Draw a Primary Diagonal

Write a function that prints a diagonal from top-left to bottom-right.

def draw_primary_diagonal(size):
    # Your code here

draw_primary_diagonal(5)

Example Output:

*    
 *   
  *  
   * 
    *
        
def draw_primary_diagonal(size):
    for i in range(size):
        print(" " * i + "*")

5. Draw a Secondary Diagonal

Write a function that prints a diagonal from top-right to bottom-left.

def draw_secondary_diagonal(size):
    # Your code here

draw_secondary_diagonal(5)

Example Output:

    *
   * 
  *  
 *   
*
        
def draw_secondary_diagonal(size):
    for i in range(size):
        print(" " * (size - i - 1) + "*")

6. Draw a Square with Borders and Diagonals

Write a function that prints a square with its borders and both diagonals.

def draw_all_lines(size):
    # Your code here

draw_all_lines(5)

Example Output:

*****
** **
* * *
** **
*****
        
def draw_all_lines(size):
    for i in range(size):
        for j in range(size):
            if i == j or i == (size - j) - 1 or i == 0 or i == size - 1 or j == 0 or j == size - 1:
                print("*", end="")
            else:
                print(" ", end="")
        print()
