I’m a beginner at python, and have been given this task:
Write a program that lets a user input numbers and have them multiplied. The user can use the program 5 times, then it should stop. Use at least a for loop and a function.
I believe the code here will ask for the numbers, multiply and give the answer, but how do I get it to run 5 times then stop asking for more numbers?
# get inputs
num1 = int(input('Enter first number: '))
num2 = int(input('Enter second number: '))
# calculate product
product = 0
for i in range(1,num2+1):
product=product+num1`
# give answer
print("The Product of Number:", product)
>Solution :

- Get rid of the
for i in range(1,num2+1)loop, since you don’t need a loop in order to calculate the product of two numbers. - Add a
for i in range(5)loop at the very top of your code, and then indent everything under it 4 spaces to the right.
