You are given an integer, your task is to print an alphabet rangoli of size n.
Different sizes of alphabet rangoli are shown below:
#size 3
----c----
--c-b-c--
c-b-a-b-c
--c-b-c--
----c----
#size 5
--------e--------
------e-d-e------
----e-d-c-d-e----
--e-d-c-b-c-d-e--
e-d-c-b-a-b-c-d-e
--e-d-c-b-c-d-e--
----e-d-c-d-e----
------e-d-e------
--------e--------
#size 10

Solution:
import string
def print_rangoli(size):
width = 4 * size - 3
alpha = string.ascii_lowercase
for i in list(range(size))[::-1] + list(range(1, size)):
print('-'.join(alpha[size-1:i:-1] + alpha[i:size]).center(width, '-'))
if __name__ == '__main__':
n = int(input())
print_rangoli(n)
