how python calculation this code i not understand why when i put (block 2 the height is 1) or (block 3 the height is 2 i) help p

Question

blocks = int(input("Enter the number of blocks: "))
height = 0
inlayer = 1
while inlayer <= blocks:
height += 1
blocks -= inlayer
inlayer += 1

print("Height of the pyramid:",height)

Answer 1

It takes count of blocks, and each iteration it subtracts number of blocks in layer from it until it is less than number of required blocks to make a layer which is increasing each iteration and during this it increases hight as well.

Answer 2

Understand and use the below code:
blocks = int(input("Enter the number of blocks: "))
i=1
j=0
while True:
j=j+i
if j<blocks:
b=i
i+=1
elif j==blocks:
a=i
break
elif j>blocks:
a=b
break
print("The height of the pyramid:",a)

Answer 3

@Jee kali, what is i and j representing as i know 'a' is the height

Answer 4

Hi Rydell,

U can try this.

blocks = int(input("Enter the number of blocks: "))

#
# Write your code here.
#

counter = 0
height = 0
total_blocks = 0

while total_blocks <= blocks:

total_blocks = total_blocks + counter + 1

counter += 1

height = counter - 1

print("The height of the pyramid:", height)

Answer 5

blocks = int(input("Enter the number of blocks: "))
i=0
j=1
while i<blocks:
j+=1
i+=j
else:
print("The height of the pyramid:", j-1)
