Question

#supposed to print LCM tell me what's wrong please comment.
x=int(input())
y=int(input())
def lcm(x, y):
if x>y:
greater=x
else:
greater=y
while(True):
if((greater%x==0)and(greater%y==0)):
lcm=greater
break
greater+=1
return lcm
lcm(x,y)

Answer 1

Work on your indentation, man. You have to maintain the same indent jump everywhere.

Answer 2

@Prudhvi Raja correction seems right: the only line really bad indented is the 12th...

... but anyway, number of spaces (or tabs) is not mandatory to be 4: it's just had to be consistent (if you use n spaces for a block, you cannot mix tab but only n spaces, even 1 -- but it's rather recommanded to use more for readability ;P)

Answer 3

Python uses indentation (4 white spaces at the beginning of a line) to delimit blocks of code. Other languages, such as C, use curly braces to accomplish this, but in Python indentation is mandatory; programs won't work without it. For clarity check below code how each block is delimited.

x=int(input())
y=int(input())
def lcm(x, y):
if x>y:
greater=x
else:
greater=y
while True:
if((greater%x==0)and(greater%y==0)):
lcm=greater
break
greater+=1
return lcm

print(lcm(x,y))

Answer 4

Yeah it's showing some indentation error

Answer 5

can u plz explain

Answer 6

if (condition):
statement 1
elif(condition):
stAtement 2

in c language or cpp statements that will be executed in loop or if else statement have to be enclosed by {}
in python...
u need to give indentation...
and AS @ KUBA SAID...
SAME INDENTATION JUMP
