Write a while loop that adds all numbers from 1 to 100.

starting code:

counter = 0
total = 0

while loop goes here

print(total)

Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Could you supply a little more detail? Is there something specific you want explained?

grave hinge

how would i go about creating this code? i dont know much about python, i just want to make a infinite loop code that makes the numbers go like this
1
2
3
4
5
6.......
......100

#

and it does that over and over i think

#

my teacher gave me starting code, to start with but i dont know why its even there to be honest

counter = 0
total = 0

#

i tried doing this but i dont know how to make it 1-100 instead of 2 and i didnt use the counter = 0 or total = 0

#

atleast i think thats what its trying to get me to do

#

okay im getting somewhere i think

#

closer but not there

#

the top of the code was counter = 0 total = 0

low marsh
grave hinge
#

total wasnt used though

grave hinge
#

i need the numbers to add to each other i think

low marsh
#

The last loop looks ok to me. Normally this would all be just one thing:

count = 0
while count < 100:
    counter = counter + 1
    print(counter)
grave hinge
#

let me try that

#

Good

#

Now

#

I Need to make the numbers add each other

#

how would i add all those numbers together for the total? @low marsh

low marsh
#

Ah, I said count in the condition, not counter.

#

WHat do you want for the total? Every value of counter?

grave hinge
#

it gave me a error since count is not defined

grave hinge
#

so 1+2+3+4+5+6........ continued until +100

low marsh
#

So total starts as 0. Inside the loop, you want to add counter to total, just like you add 1 to counter.

#

Then after the loop you could print("total:", total) to see what you got.

grave hinge
#

sooo like total = total + counter + 1

#

?

#

Let me try that

low marsh
#

... without the + 1

grave hinge
#

oo okay

low marsh
#

You're just adding up the counter values.

grave hinge
#

sorry im not good at coding

#

Thank u let me see what this gives me

low marsh
#

It's just a way of thinking. You'll get there.

#

Oh, when you show the code could you copy/paste the text instead of a screenshot?

grave hinge
#

Yes sorry I will

low marsh
#

I get this, a bit glaring.

Hey @grave hinge!

Please edit your message to use a code block

```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```
low marsh
#

Looks ok

grave hinge
#

ITS GOOD

#

THANK YOU

#

idk how to use code block

low marsh
#

Disord wants backticks ``` instead of apostrophes '''

low marsh

Any further questions?

grave hinge
#

not currently, will you be able to help later on today in like half an hour with different assignments?

low marsh
#

Probably. You may need to ping me, depending what I'm doing.

grave hinge
#

i have more short python assignments for my class

low marsh
#

Just @cameron.simpson in the topic text. It's better to make a public thread for most things, unless we get into the weeds with something. If I'm around I'll probably answer, but otherwise other people can answer.

grave hinge
#

Alright thank you so much cameron!!
