String Formatting - PYTHON Alignment

Question

my question is, instead of :>6, I wanted the user to be able to choose the amount of characters to be aligned to the right, for example, there instead of 6, I would put the variable n.

However, python accuses an error, implying that it only accepts numbers that are directly placed there as a parameter, I cannot play the variable n that is already int by the way. There’s some way to do it?

def staircase(n):
        grade = "#"
        vezes = 1
        for i in range(0, n):
            print(f"{grade:>6}")
            vezes += 1
            grade = "#" * vezes
    if __name__ == '__main__':
        n = int(input())
    
        staircase(n)

Answer 1

Just put the variable also between keys:

print(f"{grade:>{n}}")

Thus the value of the variable n will be interpolated in the string and will still be considered as a parameter of formatting the value of grade.
