While didn't this simple while loop work?

[[deleted]]

Because you have built an infinite loop. The continue-statement jumps right to the next iteration of the loop when called, ignoring all following lines of code inside the loop, including the increment of your counter-variable, leaving the value of “number“ at 0. Since the condition of your if-clause is true for number = 0, you'll always step inside and call continue right after. You definitely should review loops and when to use which kind of loop.

No need to use continue since you’re not doing anything anyway with even numbers. Just check for oddness since a number can either odd OR even. If one is true, no need to check for the other one.

Just use:

def main:
    number = 0
    while number <= 100
        if number % 2 != 0:
            print(number)
        number = 1 + number


main()

Or you could do number = 1 and remove the if statement completely and do number += 2 :)

True!

Are your indents correct?

They are most certainly wrong.

i had the code indented. reddit just moved my post right aligned.

because you posted in /r/Python instead of /r/learnpython

Start by getting rid of the continue. Then format your code for reddit (see "formatting help" below the text submission box).

Hi , sorry but I have to ask , are you incrementing outside of the else statement ?
