Question

In this code final output have to have same value of x and y. So the code should repeat the some conditions. If x > y, then the value of x will be x - y. And so for the y. If y > x, then the value of y will be y - x. Can anybody solve this error with my code? Thank you.

Answer 1

Klaudius Liasta 'return' if for functions, not for loops
So:
1) delete the 'return' lines
2) correct the indents in 'if... else' sections

The code will be like this:

x = 2437
y = 875

while True:
if x>y:
x = x - y
elif y>x:
y = y - x
else:
break
print(x,y)

Answer 2

Thank you very much. Can I use for loops in that case?

Answer 3

Also you can get rid off 'while True' and make the code simpler:

x = 2437
y = 875

while x != y:
if x > y:
x = x - y
else:
y = y - x
print(x,y)
