Count the number of zero's

The program should output how many zeros are there! here is my code! what is wrong with it?? n = int(input()) sum = 0 for i in range(n): if n == 0: sum = sum+1 print(sum) else: print(0) You can check my code in this link: https://snakify.org/en/lessons/for_loop_range/problems/how_many_zeroes/ WARNING: just tell me why my code doesn't output the right thing pleaseee

Can you add what is your expected output for a sample output? Your this code prints n number of 0s only..(by else part) edit: Ailana from the link, it is expected to read n values and check how many of them are 0s. but you are reading only 1st input.

You are just taking the first input which is N. There are no other inputs. N = int(input()) zeroCount = 0 for n in range(N): num = int(input()) if(num == 0): zeroCount = zeroCount+1 print(zeroCount)

For sample input : 3 4 0 1 Your code : n = int(input()) #this reads 3 sum = 0 for i in range(n): #this repeated i =0 to 2 if n == 0: #here 3==0 never true and executes else part. sum = sum+1 print(sum) else: print(0) What you need is : in loop read remaining inputs and check if it is 0 or not. After out of loop print count value. Ailana if you want ,To understand how loop works ,run this code and see output. n = 10 for i in range(n): print(i) #outputs 0 to 9

range(n) generates a sequence 0, 1, 2, ..., n That's not what you need Treat the input as string, so no int() around it. Then loop through the characters: for char in n:

N -> this will tell you the number of input values that are going to follow. N=5 means there is going to be 5 numbers. 5 18 0 67 0 48 This means there are 5 numbers. 18, 0, 67, 0, 48 and you must check that how many of them are 0's.
