[hey, im trying to get an odd number that the number that follows it will be divisible by 243 wrote the followring but i dont get any result, please help :)

def answer3():
    i = 1
    while i < 100001:
        if i % 2 == 1:
            if (i + 1) % 243 == 0:
                return i
    i += 1


print(answer3())

What about

print(2 * 243 - 1)

It would be a shorter code.

Your while loop never exits because the line i += 1 should be indented to become part of the while loop.

Without seeing the formatting, I suspect that your indentation is incorrect. Please use the python tabs to enclose your code.
