Help please python core lesson 26.5

Question

Use a list to save prices for all items in your cart. There is code that uses a while loop to iterate through the list, calculates all the items in the list, and prints the result. Change the code to skip odd prices, calculate the sum of only even prices, and display the result.

Code:
items = [23, 555, 666, 123, 128, 4242, 990]
sum = 0
n = 0
while n < len(items):
num = items[n]
n += 1
if num//2 == 0:
sum += num
continue
print(sum)

Answer 1

You rather need the modulo operator % instead if floor division// to check if the remainder == 0

Answer 2

If num//2 == 0 will never be true, because no number divided by 2 is 0. Try the % operator instead :)

Answer 3

Ivan

You have to skip those numbers which are odd number so do this

if num % 2 == 1:
continue

sum += num

And also there is Indentation problem. print statement should be outside the loop

Answer 4

items = [23, 555, 666, 123, 128, 4242, 990]
sum = 0
n = 0
while n < len(items):
num = items[n]
n += 1
if num%2 == 0:
sum += num
continue
print(sum)

Thanks 😁

In print(sum) was error

Delicate Cat, already decided 😄. For haven't learned yet, next lesson
