The requirement for my program is:
Complete the following program so that the loop stops when it has found the smallest positive integer greater than 1000 that is divisible by both 33 and 273.
This is my code that I have tried so far:
n = 1001 #This one is required
while True: #This one too
for i in range(n,___): # I don't know what should i put in the blank
if i%33 == 0 and i%273 == 0: # I really confused about this line
break # Should i break it now?, or in the other lines?
print(f"The value of n is {n}") #This one is also required
I have tried to use the break under for-statement but nothing returns. I don't know where I should put a break, in which lines or if I even need it at all.
How should I write the loops to get the correct result?
You already have a while True: loop, you don't need the inner for loop to search for your number, just keep incrementing n in the while loop instead of adding a new counter, when the number you're looking for is found, the infinite while True: loop will stop (using break), and so your print statement will be executed:
n = 1001 # start at 1001
while True: # start infinite loop
if n % 33 == 0 and n % 273 == 0: # if `n` found
break # exit the loop
n += 1 # else, increment `n` and repeat
print(f"The value of n is {n}") # done, print the result
Output:
The value of n is 3003
