HELP - Writing code returning True or False

[Kokuzuma]

Hello,

I am a student (of which English is not my mother tongue, then excuse the mistakes) and a beginner in learning python coding, and I'm stuck on a self-numbers exercise, where I'm asked to return, from the autonb(n) function, True or False if n is a self-number or not with n belonging to N*.

So I came to this code :

def autonb(n) :
    if n==1 :
        return(True)
    else :
        for k in range(1,n) :
            if n==(k+(sum(list(int(c) for c in str(k))))) :
                return(False)
            else :
                return(True)

But it returns True for n=1, False for n=2 and True for everything else. I understand that the problem comes from my placements of the returns since they completely stop the function as soon as one of the two conditions with k=1 is verified but I really don't know how to place them differently.
Can you guide me to the solution please ? Thank you in advance.

Think about it: you only want to return True if no number plus it's own digits equals n. So you need to check all of the numbers up to n-1 before returning True. So return True (you don't need the parentheses) should come after the loop, not inside it as you have it now.

Yes, I found the solution a bit before your answer. Thank you for your response.
