python trying to make a counter variable to make 6 rows and 6 columns

Question

Write a program that uses a for loop and the range function to process all integers from 999 down to zero. Code in the loop should print multiples of 40 on one line separated by spaces, but with only six on one line. See Required Output. Use a counter to determine when six multiples have been printed.

Required Output
960 920 880 840 800 760
720 680 640 600 560 520
480 440 400 360 320 280
240 200 160 120 80 40

This is what i have so far

counter = 0
for num in range (1000, 0, -40):
if counter == counter*6:
counter+=1
print("{:6d}".format(num))
else:
counter=0

Output:
1000
960
920
880
840
800
760
720
680
640
600
560
520
480
440
400
360
320
280
240
200
160
120
80
40

Answer 2

Okie. I was worried if I had chronic eye disease. :>

Answer 3

Can you point out to me as to how my output isn't correct.

Answer 4

#I suppose we have to follow all the instructions strictly, so this is my attempt. If not, there should be easier ways.

counter = 0
for num in range(999, 0, -1):
if num%40 == 0:
print(num, end = ' ')
counter += 1
if counter%6 == 0:
print('')

He differs from other slackers in the sense that he actually attempted the task prior to seeking help from the community.

Answer 12

why you all so keen to do Reginald's homework for him?

Answer 13

at hatsy rei

Answer 14

how would you use while loop to do same thing

Answer 15

@reginald I think your code was complete conceptually and almost the same as the answers generously offered by @Hatsy and @Kartikey,
it's just they had an extra formatting trick you may not have known about .... eg print("stuff" end="spaces NOT new line")

Answer 16

just to make the code 2 lines only... not necessarily better ... just shorter
...and now I made all columns right justified (I couldn't stop myself)
