Python programming questions
You need to write a loop that takes the numbers in a given list named num_list:
num_list = [422, 136, 524, 85, 96, 719, 85, 92, 10, 17, 312, 542, 87, 23, 86, 191, 116, 35, 173, 45, 149, 59, 84, 69, 113, 166]
Your code should add up the odd numbers in the list, but only up to the first 5 odd numbers together. If there are more than 5 odd numbers, you should stop at the fifth. If there are fewer than 5 odd numbers, add all of the odd numbers.
Here is my code:
num_list = [422, 136, 524, 85, 96, 719, 85, 92, 10, 17,
312, 542, 87, 23, 86, 191, 116, 35, 173, 45, 149, 59, 84, 69, 113, 166]
num_odd = 0
count_num = 0
for i in range(num_list):
if num_listi%2 != 0:
count_num +=1
while count_num < 5:
num_odd += num_listi
print(num_odd)
num_list = [422, 136, 524, 85, 96, 719, 85, 92, 10, 17, 312, 542, 87, 23, 86, 191, 116, 35, 173, 45, 149, 59, 84, 69, 113, 166]
odd_count = 0
summation = 0
for i in num_list:
if i%2 != 0:
summation += i
odd_count += 1
if odd_count == 5:
break
print(summation)
This is a way of doing it. You're using range() wrong. I see you are trying to iterate through the list by getting the index and then putting that into num_listi but you can't range through a list. Instead, you can do range(len(num_list)) which takes the length of the num_list, then creates a range from 0 to that length number. However, this just adds extra unnecessary code. Instead you can just do for i in num_list to iterate through the elements of the list directly.
The break command just tells the code to break out of the loop (in this case, a for loop), which stops the loop continuing. You can see that I've run the break command after the odd_count is equal to 5, which is when we want the summation to stop.
Hope that helps
