Can someone please explain why does it print a triangular table and not
a square table like this one:
Because you call print Multiples() from within multipleTable()
Each time the loop executes the value of i increases so each line
printed gets longer. The first line is printed by printMultiples(1,1)
The second is called with printMultiples(2,2) and so on up to
printMultiples(6,6).
This yields a triangular printout.
is there any documentation i can read on tables?
Not really, there's no such thing as a table in Python programming, its
just a structure you create. In practice its usually composed of a list
of lists.
