Sep 2, 2020 at 4:46 comment added boboquack "Also, the number of characters may not be a triangular number" - nitpicking but you need a square number of characters, not a triangular number of characters, to make a 'perfect' triangle via this algorithm :)
Sep 2, 2020 at 2:32 comment added Jonah @att Allowed. I updated the rules.

Sep 2, 2020 at 2:30 comment added att What about (consistent) leading spaces and newlines?
Sep 2, 2020 at 0:25 comment added Jonah @FryAmTheEggman I added a procedural description. Please let me know if that clears up the ambiguity.

Sep 1, 2020 at 23:22 comment added FryAmTheEggman I think you would be much better off actually explaining the process, not just giving examples. I could still see someone being confused for, e.g. the case with 5 characters. I believe I get it, in that we essentially fill up the smallest "double triangle" possible, starting from the top of the middle when there's a even number of rows - but that is a lot to have to parse out of some examples.

Sep 1, 2020 at 22:51 comment added Jonah @FryAmTheEggman I updated to include the 2 and 3 letter cases. Does that answer your question?

Sep 1, 2020 at 22:48 comment added FryAmTheEggman It isn't immediately clear to me how to scale this properly. What does a 3 letter input look like? Is it the afg portion? Or would it be the gha?
