Issue with affecting numbers to a variable - Adem - Sep-23-2019
hello , i'm trying to code with python, i get little bit of problems with affecting many numbers to a variable. Can someone tell me what is the issue in my code ? How can I solve it ? Thanks for helping
a=[ 2, 4, 8, 17, 18021990]
if a % 4==0:
print ("I'm a multiple of 4")

Hi!
I'm also a newbie.
You cannot operate (like with %) two different types of data, like 'lists' (a) and 'integers' (int), but you can twist it a little, taking one by one, all the elements from the list, like:
a=[ 2, 4, 8, 17, 18021990]
for x in a:
if x % 4==0:
print ("The number", x, "is a multiple of 4.")that produces the following output:Output:The number 4 is a multiple of 4.
The number 8 is a multiple of 4.RE: Issue with affecting numbers to a variable - Gribouillis - Sep-23-2019
Adem Wrote:Can someone tell me what is the issue in my code ? How can I solve it ?The issue is that you define
a as a list of numbers, which is perfect, but a list of numbers is not a multiple of 4 and the operation a % 4 is not defined for this type.You can solve it by defining more precisely what you are trying to achieve and the result you're expecting.
