Question

Write a recursive function called draw_triangle() that outputs lines of '*' to form a right side up isosceles triangle. Function draw_triangle() has one parameter, an integer representing the base length of the triangle. Assume the base length is always odd and less than 20. Output 9 spaces before the first '*' on the first line for correct formatting.

Hint: The number of '*' increases by 2 for every line drawn.

Ex: If the input of the program is:

3

the function draw_triangle() outputs:

* ***

Ex: If the input of the program is:

19

the function draw_triangle() outputs:

   *

   ***

  *****

 *******

 *********

***********

*************

***************

*****************

*******************

Note: No space is output before the first '*' on the last line when the base length is 19.

if __name__ == '__main__':
    base_length = int(input())
    draw_triangle(base_length)
