Answer 1

Here is the code for the given question using while loop:

whilepyramid.py

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

i = 1 #initialising a variable i to 1 as we have to print in range 1 to 6 so start with 1
while i < 6: #continue the loop untill i is less than 6 as ending range is 6
j = 1 #initialising a variable j to 1
while j <= i: #checking if j is less than or equal to i   
print("*",end=' ') #print statement for a row
j+=1 #increment j
print("\n",end = '') #print statement for outer loop i.e change row
i+=1 #increment i
