Help needed displaying a stair step pattern

Hi, This program works, but is slightly off. The output is coming out different than what I am trying to achieve. Any helpful suggestions? Thanks.

#this program displays a stair-step pattern.


num_steps = 6

for r in range(num_steps):
for c in range (r):
print(' ', end='')
print ('#')
print ('#')

Output from code above
>>>
#
#
_ #
___#
____#
#
___#
#
____#
#__
____ #
#
>>>
This is the pattern I am trying to get it to display. (where the underscores are should be black spaces.

I'm not all that familiar with Python 3 (which it seems you're using) but I think the problem is in the first of your 2 "print("#")"s. That is, the default is to add a linefeed so you should have "print("#", end="")" or whatever is the proper syntax.

Also, it helps if you use code tags and thus preserve the indentation (although in this case it's fairly transparent).

By the way, in Python 2.x, I'd do it like this (where "n" is your numsteps):
