print("\nNumber\tType\tSquares\tRoots")
print("_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _")
for i in range(start,end,step):
    sq =i**2
    root =math.sqrt(i)
    num =(i%2)
    print(i, '\t', num, '\t', sq, '\t', root)
print("_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ")
I am having a hell of a time trying to get the 'num' to display 'Even' or 'Odd'. I have it to the point where it will display '0' for even and '1' for odd but how am I suppose to assign it to the 'num' as 'Even' or 'Odd'?

Please read BBCode to learn how to post code.
if i % 2 == 0:
    type = "Even"
else:
    type = "Odd "
print(type)

type is built-in function, don't use it as variable name

import math
start= int(input("please enter starting number:"))
end= int(input("please enter upper limit number:"))

        end= int(input("please enter upper limit number:"))
        step= int(input("please enter step number:"))
print("\nNumber\tType\tSquare\tRoot")
print("_________________________________")
for i in range(start,end,step):
    sq =i**2

    break

if i % 2 ==0:
        type = "Even"
else:
        type = "Odd"
    
print(i, '\t', type, '\t',     sq, '\t', root)

SO input type but the program now runs a single line as opposed to the user inputted numbers...

RE: new to programming, any help would be appreciated! - GOTO10 - Sep-29-2020

You haven't made it very clear what you are expecting in terms of output, but a couple of things look problematic:
  1. Your for loop on line 12 doesn't serve any purpose since the break on line 15 means that lines 13-14 only execute a single time. Do you need to break there?
  2. If you intend for any of lines 17+ to be within your loop, you need to indent them appropriately (while also deciding what to do with that break on line 15).

If I wanted to display Even/Odd for 0/1 I would do it like this
evenodd = ['Even', 'Odd']
for i in range(11):
    print(i, 'is', evenodd[i%2])

import math
start= int(input("please enter starting number:"))
end= int(input("please enter upper limit number:"))
step= int(input("please enter step number:"))

while start > end and end-start>step:
start= int(input("please enter starting number:"))
end= int(input("please enter upper limit number:"))
step= int(input("please enter step number:"))

print("\nNumber\tType\tSquare\tRoot")
print("_________________________________")
for i in range(start,end,step):
sq =i**2
root =math.sqrt(i)
if i % 2 ==0:
type = "Even"
else:
type = "Odd"
print(i, '\t', type, '\t', sq, '\t', root)
print("_________________________________________")

OUTPUT IS

please enter starting number:1
please enter upper limit number:13
please enter step number:1

Number Type Square Root
_________________________________
12 Even 144 3.4641016151377544
_________________________________________
>>>
but it should display Numbers 1-13 for some reason it stopped displying those numbers in the table?

Tough to say since I cannot see how the code is indented. This code works for me:
import math
start= int(input("please enter starting number:"))
end= int(input("please enter upper limit number:"))
step= int(input("please enter step number:"))

while start > end and end-start>step:
    start= int(input("please enter starting number:"))
    end= int(input("please enter upper limit number:"))
    step= int(input("please enter step number:"))

print("\nNumber\tType\tSquare\tRoot")
print("_________________________________")
for i in range(start,end,step):
    sq =i**2
    root =math.sqrt(i)
    if i % 2 ==0:
        type = "Even"
    else:
        type = "Odd"
    print(i, '\t', type, '\t', sq, '\t', root)
print("_________________________________________")
Output:
Number	Type	Square	Root
_________________________________
1 	 Odd 	 1 	 1.0
2 	 Even 	 4 	 1.4142135623730951
3 	 Odd 	 9 	 1.7320508075688772
4 	 Even 	 16 	 2.0
5 	 Odd 	 25 	 2.23606797749979
6 	 Even 	 36 	 2.449489742783178
7 	 Odd 	 49 	 2.6457513110645907
8 	 Even 	 64 	 2.8284271247461903
9 	 Odd 	 81 	 3.0
10 	 Even 	 100 	 3.1622776601683795
11 	 Odd 	 121 	 3.3166247903554
12 	 Even 	 144 	 3.4641016151377544

13 is not displayed because range stops before the end value. To include 13 in your calculations your loop should be:
for i in range(start, end+1, step):
I think the reason for this is the most common way to use range is:
for i in range(13):
This will loop 13 times starting with i = 0 and ending with i = 12.

The table will line up better if you use this print:
print(i, type, sq, root, sep = '\t')

def find_min(a,b,c):
    min(a,b,c)
    

def find_max(a,b,c):
    max(a,b,c)
    

def main():
    a = int(input("Enter number 1:"))
    b = int(input("Enter number 2:"))
    c = int(input("Enter number 3:"))
    find_min(a,b,c)
    find_max(a,b,c)
    print("The min is",{find_min})
    print("The max is",{find_max})

main()

user input is:
Enter number 1:5
Enter number 2:6
Enter number 3:7
and the output I get is:
The min is {<function find_min at 0x10e618b80>}
The max is {<function find_max at 0x1100591f0>}

I don't understand why im getting that and not the minimum value of 5 and the maximum value of 7?

RE: new to programming, any help would be appreciated! - deanhystad - Oct-13-2020

Your functions do not return a value.  That is why you are getting back a function object instead of a number.  Calling max(a, b, c) does not make find_max(a, b, c) return the result.  Your function needs something like: return max(a, b, c)
