I'm working on a practice problem that says, "Use a "while" loop to print out every fifth number counting from 1 to 1000."
I can't seem to make it work.
This is what I've tried so far (as well as several small tweaks of this).
num = 1
while num in range(1, 1001):
if num % 5 == 0:
num += 1
print(num)
Thank you!
You're close. You want to print out every time the condition matches, but increment regardless of the condition.
num = 1
while num in range(1, 1001):
if num % 5 == 0:
print(num) # print must be inside the condition
num += 1 # the increase must be done on every iteration
range() just seems strange.I would say Python style would be more like:
print(list(range(0, 1001, 5)[1:]))
Got you, yes then for while loop it looks like:
num = 1
while num < 1001:
if not num % 5:
print(num)
num += 1
for num in range(1, 1001):
if num % 5 == 0:
print(num)
You were pretty close, this should work.
@Wolf comment is also very helpful for you and relevant!
use a "while" loop
print range(1, 1001, 5)?use a "while" loop
