I wrote a program which checks if PI (first one million digits) contains a person's birth year.
file_path = "C:/Users/Rafael/PythonCode/PiDigits.txt" with open (file_path) as a: b = a.read() get_year = input("What year were you born? ") for year in b: if get_year in b: print("Your year of birth occurs in PI!") break else: print("Your year of birth does not occur in PI.") break As a next challenge, I wanted to check how often a person's birth year occurs in PI. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to figure out how to use the loop count properly. Can anyone help? Thanks! file_path = "C:/Users/Rafael/PythonCode/PiDigits.txt" with open(file_path) as a: b = a.read() get_year = input("What year were you born? ") count = 0 for year in b: if get_year in b: count += 1 else: print("Your birth date does not occur in PI.") break sum_count = sum(count) print("Your birth date occurs %s times in PI!" % (sum_count)) _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
