| O'Reilly learning platform, Other Digital Version | Page Chapter 3: Functions Second Exercise at the bottom ("Triangle") |
The exercise asks the reader to write a function called triangle() that prints a pyramid of characters that is a certain height based on the function arguments. But the code provided is the completed function, so there's no point asking the reader to write the code. Note from the Author or Editor: |

| O'Reilly learning platform, Other Digital Version | Page Chapter 3: Functions Third exercise at the bottom ("Rectangle") |
The exercise asks the reader to write a function rectangle() that prints a rectangle of strings with a certain height and width. But the last line of the exercise prompt says "Here’s an example of a pyramid with 4 levels, using the string 'L'." The error is that the code example provided is the code that writes a function called rectangle() that completely prints the rectangle instead of a pyramid. (Which also defeats the purpose of the exercise) Note from the Author or Editor: |
