Thank you elle but still, if you run this code, you will see that there is a problem of spaces. The output is:

Can you please solve it?

Answer 4

Great!
It was better than before and I tweaked it just a little bit. Added another empty space in the 'if' print statement and two empty spaces to the second last print statement which prints empty spaces before the numbers.
Now, it runs perfectly!

Thanks from the bottom of my heart for your effort. Have a great day. :D
