Hi,
I am a python learner and I am having problems with this homework I was given.
Read a natural number from the input.
Find out how many times in a row this number can be divided by two
(e.g. 80 -> 40 -> 20 -> 10 -> 5, the answer is 4 times)
And I should use while loop to do it.
Any Ideas, because I really don’t have any idea how to do it.
This is my best try
>Solution :
Your while loop condition is wrong.
While the number is evenly divisible by 2, divide it by 2 and increment counter
num = int(input('Enter a number: '))
counter = 0
while num % 2 == 0:
num = num / 2
counter = counter + 1
print(counter)
