This is Code Institute Christmas Challenge.
The description of the challenge is as follow:
I use Python to solve this challenge.
My solution is based on a While Loop. I assigned different variables and made the characters I need to made the tree:
left_tree = '/'
right_tree = '\\'
bar = '_'
star = '*'
starting_space = ' '*(max-1) # This is the left side space
To meet my criteria I used a While Loop assigning as range my 'max' variable, this way it is possible to change as well the size of the tree.
To made the tree basement I assigned the variables as follow:
bar_vertical = '|'
space_star = ((max*2)-1) * '*'
full_line = ((max*2)-1) * '_'
half_line = 10 * '_'
left_side = (max-5) * ' '
The basement will always be on the middle of the tree because it follows the size of the max value ('left_side' variable).

Copy the repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/gello94/xmas_tree_2019 -
Run the .py file:
$ python xmas_tree.py
DO you want to change the size of the tree? Just change the 'max' variable value.
Add some lights to the tree
If you want to add some lights to the tree (represented as *) just follow the comments in the code where the space ' ' need to be changed with '*'.
The result will be as follow:
