Loops Homework

This program allows a user to input a word and prints it in a pyramid formation. It uses nested for loops - an outer loop that iterates through each character of the input word, and an inner loop that prints each previous character plus the current one. It imports necessary classes like Scanner for input and String to access string methods. The main method gets user input, determines the word length, then uses the nested for loops to print each character plus all previous in successive rows to form a pyramid shape of the given word.
