Hej there,
I am trying to figure out how exactly variables in nested loops are
generated, and don't get it 100% right yet. Here's my code:
for n in range(2, 10):
for x in range(2, n):
if n % x == 0:
print(n, 'equals', x, '*', n//x)
break
else:
print(n, 'is a prime number')
And here's what I assume happens inside these for loops:
#1 Round:
n = 2
x = no result
>>>
2 is a prime number
#2 Round:
n = 3
x = 2
>>>
3 is a prime number
#3 Round:
n = 4
x = 3
>>>
My assumption about the way these two for loops work is wrong, because
the output cannot be "4 is a prime number" for obvious reasons.
Can anyone help me understand?
I am using Python 3.3.0. Thank you!
All the best,
Raf
