Can anyone explain this to me please. I'm a beginner

Question

The code is:
for i in range(10):
if not i % 2 == 0:
print(i+1)
Output:
2
4
6
8
10

The part i didn't get is this " i % 2 ==0" why did it print out even numbers, I understand that not is for saying it is false or something. But still I don't get it.

Answer 1

Let's break down the code:

for i in range(10):

Lets just refer to i as "anything."

So, for anything in the range of 1-10

Next:

if not i % 2 == 0:

So, if anything in the range of 1-10 divided by 2 has a remainder (%) of 0

That means you take 1, divide it by 2 and see if it has a remainder of 0. It doesn't, so it skips. Next is 2. It has a remainder of 0 when dividing it by 2, so it prints. So on, so on.

The print(i+1) means print the number + 1, because if you don't have it the output would be odd numbers.

Hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!!

Happy coding :)
