Bacteria problem 5.2

Question

Hi. Total beginner here. The bacteria problem formula is; 500* 2 ** N . N goes sequentially up to 30

So I coded: (500 * 2 ** N), N = range (30)

I looked up the N= range () on Google but was not correct.

Would appreciate guidance.
Thank you

Answer 1

I think this is what you need

for N in range(30):
print(500 *2 **N)

create a range, then apply your formula where N is the power being generated by the range.

The print function will show the result of each iteration

Answer 2

This will help you and it's the right answer!!

N=24
print(500*2**N)

SIMPLE..!!
No need to use for loop for this..

Answer 6

@Peter You can try "Programming with Python for Absolute Beginners - 'Mike Dawson' ". Really, Good one. It's the same book I refer to my students. OR you can try programiz.com, really a great reference. This place is just for practice, revision and doubt-solving.

Answer 7

Thank you Loser I will order the book

Answer 8

It is simple to done .
First step - what has given to us.
Second - write bacteria =500, n=24.
Third - use (500*2**n).
That's it and run the code you get the result.

Answer 9

N = 30

for i in range(N):
i = i + 1
print(500 * 2 ** i)

range function works with 'for' loops, not alone.. you would require to have a variable, in this case 'i', that will intake the value N gives out from '0' till 'N'. As the value for 'i' starts from 0, we have to have statement/expression that will change it's value from 0 to 1, (hence, the statement - i = i + 1) inorder to get the desired output.

Answer 10

Hmmmm......
Lot of bacteria
Use a Dettol
Print("Dettol")

Answer 11

For input, just enter the number of hours you would like to calculate.

Hours = (input())
print (500*2**int(Hours))
