need help first first year university homework problem invloving loops : Problem:
In the space provided, write a program that uses nested loops to draw the pattern below. You are not allowed to use any of the formatting functions; your solution must use nested loops and must use calls to print("*",  end="") and print("-",  end="") to  print  characters  to  the screen (without moving to the next line) and calls to print() to move down to the next line.

I have no idea where to start with this problem I'm new to programming.

I must use nested loops and use print("*",  end="") and print("-",  end=""). I can't use formatting functions and I can only go to a new line using print()
