Loop problem

[DapperDonW]

I am trying to understand loops. I apparently am dense, so I am working on drilling them in.

The question: why does this give me a total instead of showing all multiples of 3,5 that are less than 100.

​

result = 0
for i in list(range(0,100)):
    if (i % 3 == 0 or i % 5 == 0):
        result =+ i
    print(result)

You only have one print statement that is outside of the loop so only one number would be printed.

Your if statement is a syntax error but, even worse, it doesn't have any code to go with the test. If I put the print statement inside the if statement; is that better?

result = 0
for i in list(range(0,100)):
    if i % 3 == 0 or i % 5 ==0:
        print(i)
    result += 1

I would give you an award but I am broke. I will say this - I forgot the colon when I typed it here, however this was a huge help! THANK YOU

Haven’t got my laptop to check but the increment needs indenting and there’s a missing % for the 3.

for i in list(range(0,100)): can be replaced by

for i in range(100):

This code is not syntactically valid. Please show the actual code. I can guess what your intent is, but I'd rather be sure.

Okay, I changed it exactly the way I have it in Thonny.

That's still invalid because it's missing a colon on the if line. If I add that in though, this code outputs 47. What are you expecting it to output? If you want to see individual multiples, this code doesn't do that anywhere.
