Python Program to print digit pattern

The program must accept an integer N as the input. The program must print the desired pattern as shown in the example input/ output. Examples:

Input : 41325 Output : |**** |* |*** |** |***** Explanation: for a given integer print the number of *'s that are equivalent to each digit in the integer. Here the first digit is 4 so print four *sin the first line. The second digit is 1 so print one *. So on and the last i.e., the fifth digit is 5 hence print five *s in the fifth line. Input : 60710 Output : |****** | |******* |* |

Approach Read the input For each digit in the integer print the corresponding number of *s If the digit is 0 then print no *s and skip to the next line 

# function to print the pattern  def pattern(n): # traverse through the elements  # in n assuming it as a string  for i in n: # print | for every line  print("|", end = "") # print i number of * s in  # each line  print("*" * int(i)) # get the input as string  n = "41325" pattern(n) 

|**** |* |*** |** |*****

Time complexity: O(n) since one traversal of the array is required to complete all operations hence the overall time required by the algorithm is linear
Auxiliary Space: O(1) since no extra array is used so the space taken by the algorithm is constant

Alternate solution that takes integer as input : 

n = 41325 x = [] while n>0: x.append(n%10) n //= 10 for i in range(len(x)-1,-1,-1): print('|'+x[i]*'*') # code contributed by Baivab Dash  

|**** |* |*** |** |*****

Time complexity: O(n) since one traversal of the array is required to complete all operations hence the overall time required by the algorithm is linear
Auxiliary Space: O(n) since an extra list is used so in the worst case the space taken by the algorithm will be linear

Using List comprehension and join():

Another approach that could be used to solve this problem is to use a list comprehension to generate the desired output.

Here is an example of how this could be implemented:

def pattern(n): # Convert the input number to a string n = str(n) # Use a list comprehension to generate the desired output pattern = ["|" + "*" * int(digit) for digit in n] # Join the elements of the pattern list and print the result print("\n".join(pattern)) # Test the function pattern(41325) #This code is contributed by Edula Vinay Kumar Reddy 

|**** |* |*** |** |*****

This approach has a time complexity of O(n) and a space complexity of O(n), as it requires one traversal of the input and creates a new list to store the generated pattern.
