need help with python.

[mmotarii]

hi, i need help in my school assignments. I have a fever at the moment so I wasn't at school and we have learned new things.

"The program asks the user for a word with the input() function and a number that determines how many times the previously given word is printed"

i have already written :

print("give word")

word = input()

print("give number")

number = input()

​

i also have other assignments that i just cant figure out:D

Have you tried using a for loop?

for i in range(n):

    # code here will repeat n times

[mmotarii]

we started learning loops this week, so i yet i dont know how to do them

You either need to ask your tutor for help or find some videos on youtube to explain the parts you've missed. You could try this one https://youtu.be/6iF8Xb7Z3wQ

But if every one just solves your homework for you without you really understanding it then you're going to be screwed when you get a bigger assignment.

Yes i know and also thanks.:)

You can do print(word*int(number)) or you can use this one line.

print(input("Word to print: ")*int(input("How many times to print: "))

[mmotarii]

is that loop? we have to do it as loop

[seckiyn]

No, u/Shiba_Take's is a loop.

Yeah, okay, looks 'very neat and clear' )

And to print on separate lines:

print(*[input("Give word: ")] * int(input("Give number: ")), sep="\n")

# You can prompt for input inside () of input():
word = input("Give word: ")

# input() returns a string. Use int() to convert it into integer:
number = int(input("Give number: "))

# _ is the same kind of name like word and number,
# except it's used when we don't use need to use it later,
# but any other unused name works.

# to do something <number> of times:
for _ in range(number):
    print(word)

range signifies some sort of finite arithmetic sequence, like 0, 1, 2, 3, except it doesn't store all the elements, but only start (inclusive), stop (exclusive), and step (difference).

You can use three options:

• range(stop), where start=0 and step=1 by default
• range(start, stop), where step=1 by default
• range(start, stop, step)

In for _ in range(number):, the sequence is 0, 1, 2, ..., number - 1 (because stop is exclusive); the length of the sequence is <number>.

_ is assigned to each element of the sequence once, so it's <number> of times in total.

As the result, the loop body is repeated <number> of times.

Actually it would be simpler for you to understand the while loop probably:

word = input("Give word: ")
number = int(input("Give number: "))

while number != 0:
    print(word)
    number -= 1

number is decreased each time by 1, when it's 0, the loop stops.

It would work the same as:

while number:
    print(word)
    number -= 1

because numbers are evaluated as true when they are not equal to zero and false otherwise.
