x=y=3 while x+y>2: print (x) x=x-1 look, here x = 3 not 6 but x + y = 6 (before going to loop) On the time of first iteraion you print x (3) and reduce x's value to 2 then x + y = 5 and that's how the iteration goes on and prints 3 2 1 0

# while loop x=y=3 z=x+y while z>2: print (z) z=z-1

You were just printing the variable x, you never saved the value of the sum of x and y in a variable

I think inorder for it to output 654321 the code should be x=y=6 While x+y>6 Print(x) X=x-1

Don't know about the quiz but, 1st iteration: Your while loop began with the condition 6>3 ; which is true The loop runs and x is printed and then reduced to 2 from 3. 2nd iteration: now check for 2+3>3, which is true. Loop runs again and prints x (which is 2 now) and then reduces x from 2 to 1. 3rd iteration: x is 1 and y is still 3, so x+y>3, True again. Loop runs and x, which is now 1, is printed then gets reduced to 0. 4th iteration: x is 0 and y is 3, x+y > 3 is FALSE now. (3>3 is Wrong). LOOP DOESN'T RUN ANYMORE! once the condition is false, loop is bypassed! Its work is done and you can forget about it now.

you print only the value of x..3 instead of x+y

Replace line number 7 with "print (x+y) " and here you go. :-)

You were printing the value of x not the sum.
