One possible solution. Try writing your own first.
Extension: Change the sample values and test at least two different cases.
Calculate the sum of the integers from 1 through 100.
Start an accumulator at zero.
total = 0

total += n
print("Total:", total)

Extension: Change the sample values and test at least two different cases.
Count the multiples of 3 between 1 and 30 inclusive.
Use the remainder operator in the loop.
count = 0
for n in range(1, 31):
if n % 3 == 0:
count += 1
print("Multiples:", count)
One possible solution. Try writing your own first.
Extension: Change the sample values and test at least two different cases.
Display five rows of increasing numbers of stars.
String multiplication works with a number.
for n in range(1, 6):
print("*" * n)
One possible solution. Try writing your own first.
Extension: Change the sample values and test at least two different cases.
Add seven daily step counts and display the weekly total.
Loop through the list and update a running total.
steps = [6500, 7900, 6200, 8500, 7100, 9000, 8100]
total = 0
for day in steps:
total += day
print("Weekly steps:", total)
One possible solution. Try writing your own first.
Extension: Change the sample values and test at least two different cases.
Double a value starting at 1 until it reaches at least 100.
Make sure the loop changes the value each turn.
value = 1
while value < 100:
value *= 2
print("Reached:", value)
One possible solution. Try writing your own first.
Extension: Change the sample values and test at least two different cases.
Display the squares of numbers 1–10.
n ** 2 squares n.
for n in range(1, 11):
print(n, "squared is", n ** 2)
One possible solution. Try writing your own first.
Extension: Change the sample values and test at least two different cases.
Add the individual digits of the number 5834.
Repeatedly take the final digit with % 10.
number = 5834
total = 0
while number > 0:
total += number % 10
number //= 10
print("Digit sum:", total)
