#Answer:
The key here is finding the right number of spaces and asterisks (*) to print in each row. Then we can use ‘multiplication‘ in Python to repeat a character multiple times and ‘addition’ to concatenating two strings.
# the function
def isosceles_triangle(n):
for i in range(n):
# use * to repeat a character multiple times
# use + to concatenate two string
print(' '*(n-i-1) + '#'*(i*2+1))
# call the function
