Mario

Implement a program that prints out a half-pyramid of a specified height, per the below.

$ ./mario
Height: 4
   #
  ##
 ###
####

Specification

• Write, in a file called mario.py in ~/pset6/mario/less/, a program that recreates the half-pyramid using hashes (#) for blocks, exactly as you did in Problem Set 1, except that your program this time should be written (a) in Python and (b) in CS50 IDE.
• To make things more interesting, first prompt the user with get_int for the half-pyramid’s height, a positive integer between 1 and 8, inclusive.
• If the user fails to provide a positive integer no greater than 8, you should re-prompt for the same again.
• Then, generate (with the help of print and one or more loops) the desired half-pyramid.
• Take care to align the bottom-left corner of your half-pyramid with the left-hand edge of your terminal window.

Usage

Your program should behave per the example below.

$ ./mario
Height: 4

Testing

No check50 for this problem, but be sure to test your code for each of the following.

• Run your program as python mario.py and wait for a prompt for input. Type in -1 and press enter. Your program should reject this input as invalid, as by re-prompting the user to type in another number.
• Run your program as python mario.py and wait for a prompt for input. Type in 0 and press enter. Your program should reject this input as invalid, as by re-prompting the user to type in another number.
• Run your program as python mario.py and wait for a prompt for input. Type in 1 and press enter. Your program should generate the below output. Be sure that the pyramid is aligned to the bottom-left corner of your terminal, and that there are no extra spaces at the end of each line.

• Run your program as python mario.py and wait for a prompt for input. Type in 2 and press enter. Your program should generate the below output. Be sure that the pyramid is aligned to the bottom-left corner of your terminal, and that there are no extra spaces at the end of each line.
