hi I am trying problem 6 in projecteuler.org. What is the smallest positive number that is evenly divisible by all of the numbers from 1 to 20?def rr(z,m=1): q=lambda n:m%n==0 s=lambda False : 0 a=filter(s,map(q,range(1,z))) if not a: m+=1 rr(z,m) else:return m This code is going into endless loop.
You don't show us how you're invoking this function, but it seems to me the result of passing a terminally false function result (s is always false) into filter will always result in [] (so a is always false) and will thereby cause the else clause never to be reached.
