while script exercise

Question

My task is to "create a loop that increments the value of x by 2 and prints the even values whereas odd values print "not even"; however after some experimentation I cannot print the "not even" outputs. Any suggestions?

x=0
while x<=20:
if x % 2 == 0:
print(x)
x += 2

elif x % 2 != 0:
print("not even")

Answer 1

because you never have x as an odd number. your adding 2 each iteration. change line 5 to be x+=1 and add an increment to the elif condition.

x=0
while x<=20:
if x % 2 == 0:
print(x)
x += 1

elif x % 2 != 0:
print("not even")
x+=1

Answer 2

if you increase by 2 you won't get an odd number. And also you need to put x +=2 outside if but still inside while

Answer 3

a few more tries and found this to work:

x=0
while x<=20:
x = x + 1
if x % 2 != 0:
print("not even")

elif x % 2 == 0:
print(x)

Thanks Ranj and Forge for the suggestions!
