Question

please help me why the error is coming​

Answer 1

Given co‎de:

entered_number = int(input("Enter your number: "))

remainder = entered_number%2

if remainder = 0:

  print("Your number is even.")

else:

  print("Your number is odd.")

Corrected co‎de:

entered number = int(input("Enter your number: "))

remainder = entered_number%2

if remainder == 0:          #corrected line

  print("Your number is even.")

else:

  print("Your number is odd.")

The error was at line 3, where the condition given was remainder = 0.

In Python, when you want to test for equality, the operator to be used is '==' [double equal to symbols]. Both '=' and '==' are different in Python. '=' is used for storing values while '==' is used to test for equality.

An example:

>>> n = 5

>>> if n == 5:

          print("True")

else:

          print("False")

In the co‎de above, we first stored the value into the variable 'n' using '='. Since we wanted to test the equality of 'n' and '5', we used '=='.

Answer 2

Given Codé:-

entered_number=int(input("Enter your number : "))

remainder=entered_number%2

if remainder=0:

=0:#here is your error.

‎‎‎‎print("your number is even.")

else :

‎‎‎‎print("your number is odd")

Corrected Códe:-

entered_number=int(input("Enter your number : "))

remainder=entered_number%2

if remainder==0:

==0:#change "=" to "=="

‎‎‎‎print("your number is even.")

else :

‎‎‎‎print("your number is odd")

What was the error?

• In your given códe, line no. 3, if remainder=0 here is the error.
• Here you actually want to check if the remainder is equal to 0 or not.
• Correct syntax of equality check in if condition is as follows

if argument1==argument2:

‎‎‎‎print("equal")

else:

‎‎‎‎print("Not Equal")

• So, if you write if remainder=0, it will show syntax Error. Correct syntax is given above.
