title: Pyramid of stars using while loops python nested while loops
body: <p>I have been having trouble with something I am working on for the past two days trying to make a pyramid of stars using while loops from user input</p>
  
  <p>an example of the final result would look like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>     *
      ***
     *****
    *******
   *********
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I am not even clearly sure how this is supposed to work. As I have tried for the past two nights to figure this problem out. </p>
  
  <p>This is all I have so far:</p>
  
  <pre><code>userInput = int(input("Please enter the amount of rows: "))
  count = 1
  spacing = 0
  actualStars = "*"
  numberStars = 0
  rows = 0
  while(userInput &lt;= rows):
      rows += count
      print()
      while(spacing &lt;= userInput):
          spacing += count
          print(" ")
          while(numberStars &lt;= 0):
              print(actualStars)
  </code></pre>
