With end = "" in print you dont make a new line when calling print. Surrounded by a for loop "*" is printed 5 times in one line. After the inner for loop you call print () which prints a new line by default so in the 5 iterations of the outer for loop you print 5 lines with each 5 times "*" And dont call yourself stupid. Everyone has to start at some point ;)

Let's first look at the inner for loop: for i in range(5): print("*", end="") What does it do? It prints "*" for 5 times, each time without moving to a new line. So you get output as: ***** Now let's look with the outer loop: for i in range(5): for i in range(5): print("*",end="") print() It repeats what the inner loop does, for 5 times (plus it adds a new line with print()). And hence "*****" with new line 5 times gives: ***** ***** ***** ***** *****
