What's wrong with my code?!

Question

x = 9
while x < 10:
print('x')
x -1 == x
if x % 2 == 1:
print('x')
continue

I've written this code to print numbers 1,3,5,7,9 but it tells me that the "continue" is not in the loop... What's wrong with it?!

Answer 1

Hi Atena!
That's because, the last line(x - 1 == x) of your updated code does nothing here. So, x is always < 10 hence it creates an infinite loop.
But it's supposed to decrease value of x to avoid giving this kind of output.
I assume that you're trying to make a code like this

x = 9
while x > 0:
if x % 2 == 1:
print(x)
x -= 1

Answer 2

Because it is not necessary to equate x%2.
When x%2 returns 1 then the if condition become true and statements in if condition will execute. Similarly, if x%2 gives 0 then the if condition will be false and the else will execute

Answer 3

To get the continue statement in the loop you have to indent it like the print statement above it.
But there are a lot of other issues with your code. You should take another look at the lessons.

JUMP_LINK__&&__Python__&&__JUMP_LINK Learner thank you so so much😌so the problem was actually in my second line... Thank you so much 🥰

Answer 5

x = 9
while x>0:
if x%2:
print(x)
x-=1

Answer 6

M. S. Why didn't you use == after your if statement? 🧐

Answer 7

Ah, now I get it. Because python automatically treats 1 as True and 0 as False the result of the calculation is enough. Clever.

Answer 8

Atena Molaie you can learn more about pep 8 from here ..

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/

Answer 9

x = 1
while x != 9:
print(x)
x = x + 2

Answer 10

For(int i = 0; i<=9; i++)
{
if(i%2 == 1)
print(i);
}

This will work I guess

Answer 11

x = 9
while x < 10:
print(x)
x -1 == x
if x % 2 == 1:
print(x)
continue

Is this now ok?it still doesn't work though

Answer 12

Atena Molaie run it in the code playground to find out.

Answer 13

You have to put everything except the first line inside the while loop.

Answer 14

M. S. I tried your code and it works. I was sure it would throw an error. Learned something new.

Answer 15

Simon Sauter 😊😊

Answer 16

M. S. Didn't know, thank you ☺️
Btw, didn't run the code, but seems like it's working

Answer 17

Atena Molaie pleasure 😊

Answer 18

My code work, but I have one mistake its 12 not 9.

Answer 19

Гаврилов Егор I agree with you, but the author of the topic wanted to give 1 3 5 7 9

Answer 20

Гаврилов Егор will you get 13579 even if you put x != 12 ??
