What did I do wrong ??

Question

# take the initial cell population as input
cells = int(input())

# take the number of days as input
days = int(input())

# initialize the day counter
counter = 0

#complete the while loop
while counter<=days :

# Daily message
print("Day " + str(counter) + ": " +str(cells))
counter += 1
cells *= 2

Answer 1

1. Double the cells
2. Print the output
3. Increase counter

Compare to the example output.

Answer 2

Nay Say ,

your result for the input of:

cells = 5
days = 3

is:
Day 0: 5
Day 1: 10
Day 2: 20
Day 3: 40

but should be:
Day 1: 10
Day 2: 20
Day 3: 40

Answer 3

Seems to work perfectly fine.

It would be better if you would describe the problem.

For now, I assume you are probably not entering the input correctly on sololearn. Every input should be serperated by a new line

Answer 4

Read my comment carefully.

You are doing
1. print
2. double
3. increase

Answer 5

# take the initial cell population as input
cells = int(input())

# take the number of days as input
days = int(input())

# initialize the day counter
counter = 1

#complete the while loop
while counter<=days :
cells *= 2
# Daily message
print("Day " + str(counter) + ": " +str(cells))
counter += 1

Answer 6

Nay Say ,

this is the task description:

Imagine you are a scientist looking at a new type of cell under the microscope. This type of cell divides itself into 2 daughter cells every 24 hours, meaning that the cell population duplicates every day.

Task
Complete the code to take the initial cell population and the number of days you are observing the cells to calculate the cell population at the end of each day in the following format...

>> normally this should be **your task** to provide a proper description together with your question and codecsample.

Answer 7

you should
1. Double the cells
2. Print the output
3. Increase counter

Answer 8

yes, look at the order

Answer 9

Thank you so much…. And thanks everyone for helping

Answer 10

Dorian Martinez ,

are you sure that your suggestions are working properly?

Answer 11

Haha now reading again i forgot to mention about the order on the opperation. Thanks you.

Yes thats what i got

Answer 13

Am i missing something?

Answer 14

What should i do ?

Answer 15

Im order?

Answer 16

In

Answer 17

Hi i was reading your code and its just a simple mistake. You should change your while loop comparison to a strict one. Should be while counter < days. Then on your output should do couter + 1. That way you have your cells output from 1 to the number of cells. Other solution would be to initialize your counter = 1. That should solve it. I hope it helped.
