Description:
Build Tower
Build Tower by the following given argument:
number of floors (integer and always greater than 0).
Tower block is represented as *
Python: return a list;
JavaScript: returns an Array;
C#: returns a string[];
PHP: returns an array;
C++: returns a vector<string>;
Haskell: returns a [String];
Ruby: returns an Array;
Have fun!
for example, a tower of 3 floors looks like below
[
' * ',
' *** ',
'*****'
]
and a tower of 6 floors looks like below
[
' * ',
' *** ',
' ***** ',
' ******* ',
' ********* ',
'***********'
]

简单来说就是函数返回一个列表，里面是一个等差数列组成的*，注意空格。

对python的基础库不太了解，用了个笨办法解决：

def tower_builder(n_floors):
    # build here
    s = '*'
    e = s + (n_floors - 1) * 2 * s
    l = e.__len__()
    def space(n):
        m = (l - n) * 0.5
        return int(m) * ' '
    return [space(i) + i * s + space(i) for i in range(1, (n_floors+1)*2-1, 2)]

而且第一次犯了个错误，都知道在python中可以这样重复字符串，

float类型不能直接与字符串相乘，这样会出错：

return int(m) * ' '，如果没做类型转换，会出错的~

看到别人的解法，才知道原来string有个center方法，╮(╯▽╰)╭

def tower_builder(n):
    return [("*" * (i*2-1)).center(n*2-1) for i in range(1, n+1)]
