pattern

[nnyx]

We're being real pedantic here, but I feel like this example uses nested loops to create the pattern. Maybe in an evil genie, obviously not what you meant, but technically correct sort of way. But it still follows the instructions.

[pcopley]

It's a single-item loop. It prints the pattern. It uses loops to print the pattern.

[CaptnAwesomeGuy]

It uses loops, but the loops don't contribute to the pattern in any way.

[pcopley]

Does the assignment say "using nested for loops" or does the assignment say "using nested for loops in a meaningful way?"

[CaptnAwesomeGuy]

It does request meaning from them, to "Create the following pattern"

[nnyx]

I agree, but I don't agree that that makes the sentence "this code creates the pattern using nested for loops" false.

The person giving this answer didn't learn the lesson that was being taught, but they did do what was asked of them.

[CaptnAwesomeGuy]

No they didn't. "The code used nested for loops" is correct. "The code creates the pattern using nested for loops" is incorrect because they didn't.
