Multiplication Table Generator

Overview

A simple Python program that allows users to generate multiplication tables for a base number, with customizable rows. After each table is generated, the user is prompted whether they'd like to create another one.

Features

• Allows the user to specify both positive and negative base numbers.
• Ensures the user specifies at least one row for the multiplication table.
• Uses a while loop to iterate through each row and calculate the multiplication results dynamically.
• Provides an option to generate additional tables.
• Cleanly formatted output for easy readability.

How It Works

1. Input Validation:
   • The program uses pyinputplus to validate inputs for the base number and the maximum number of rows.
   • The max_row_number input has a minimum constraint of 1 to ensure the table has at least one row.
2. Calculation and Output:
   • A while loop iterates from 1 to the specified max_row_number.
   • For each iteration, the program calculates the result by multiplying the base number by the current row number and prints the result in the format: base_number X row_counter = result.
3. User Interaction:
   • After generating a table, the user is prompted to decide whether they want to create another table or exit the program.

Requirements

• Python 3.13.1
• pyinputplus library

Installation

1. Clone this repository or download the program file.
2. Ensure you have Python 3.13.1 installed on your system.
3. Install pyinputplus by running:

   pip install pyinputplus

Usage

1. Run the program using the command:

   python Multiplication_Table_Generator.py

2. Enter the base number (positive or negative) when prompted.
3. Enter the maximum number of rows for the table (minimum value: 1).
4. View the generated multiplication table in the terminal.
5. Decide whether to create another table or exit the program when prompted.

Example Output

What is the base number you would like to generate a multiplication table for? -3
What is the maximum amount of rows you would like to generate? 5
-3 X 1 = -3
-3 X 2 = -6
-3 X 3 = -9
-3 X 4 = -12
-3 X 5 = -15
Would you like to create another multiplication table? (y/n) y
What is the base number you would like to generate a multiplication table for? 4
What is the maximum amount of rows you would like to generate? 3
4 X 1 = 4
4 X 2 = 8
4 X 3 = 12
Would you like to create another multiplication table? (y/n) n
Thank you for using the Multiplication Table Generator! Goodbye!

Future Enhancements

• Add an option to save the table to a text file.
• Add an option to customize the range (e.g., start and end numbers) for the table.
