Python 3 - Christmas tree code

Python 3 - Christmas tree code - syntax errors

-1

I'm very new to coding and I'm trying (and failing) to make a code that prints a Christmas-tree shape of "*" in whatever size instructed, and don't know where I'm going wrong, but I keep getting a variety of syntax errors all over my code.

size_raw = input("Size of tree?")



def spaces(length, size):

  Space = " "

  new_len = size / 2

  new_len -= length

  space_s = int(Space) * int(new_len)

  return space_s



def segment(h, tw, bw, s):

  line = tw

  star = "*"

  while line <= bw:

    stars = line * star

    print (spaces(int(line), int(s)) + (stars) + (spaces(int(line), int(s))

    line += 2



def tree(size):

  Topwidth = 1

  height = 3

  while Topwidth <= size:

    bottom_width = Topwidth + height

    segment(int(height), int(Topwidth), int(bottom_width), int(size)

    height += 2



 if size_raw == "Very Big":

     tree(100)

 elif size_raw == "Massive":

     tree(1000)

 else:

     tree(int(size_raw))

I expect it to work smoothly in this current state, however it responds with an error of a new for in a new location with each new attempt.

Hi Maple, It would be easy for people to answer, if you post the error as well along with your expected output.

Can you post the error that you are getting? Indentation isn't regular in the program that you posted. And can you add sample input and output?

In your tree function - you check for Topwidth in your while condition but you never update Topwidth. This will be an infinite loop. Also, as an aside - please read the PEP-8 guidelines to name your variables better

Your parenthesis are not closed properly.

Your code

print (spaces(int(line), int(s)) + (stars) + (spaces(int(line), int(s))

segment(int(height), int(Topwidth), int(bottom_width), int(size)

My version

print (spaces(int(line), int(s))) + (stars) + (spaces(int(line), int(s)))

segment(int(height), int(Topwidth), int(bottom_width), int(size))

Got it to work with this fiddle, where i also change the indention to be with 4 spaces which is the most common indention.

Your code

print (spaces(int(line), int(s)) + (stars) + (spaces(int(line), int(s))

segment(int(height), int(Topwidth), int(bottom_width), int(size)

My version

print (spaces(int(line), int(s))) + (stars) + (spaces(int(line), int(s)))

segment(int(height), int(Topwidth), int(bottom_width), int(size))
