I get a different result on my computer than the "correct" answer in module 6 of Pythonicness and Packaging. Why?

The question is, "What is the largest number this code prints?: " for i in range(10): if i > 5: print(i) break else: print(7) This is what I get on my computer when I run this code: 7 7 7 7 7 7 6 Seven is not the correct answer. I don't understand why that should be.

actually, the code in the module has different indentation, the "else" is completely unindented, causing 7 to never be printed because the "else" connects to the loop not the if statement Curt Prasky

Thank you hinanawi, you're right. I didn't notice that before...a little hard to see on my screen. Yeah, that changes everything. I should have copied and pasted instead of typing myself. The highlighting during the copying makes the different indentation levels easier to see.

The issue is that according to the module, the correct answer is 6, not 7. I answered 7 and got WRONG! When I answered 6, I got CORRECT! The problem is the code does print 7 as the largest number. There is something wrong here.

well, the largest number it prints is 7 so i see no issue with the answer. the code doesn't print any number bigger than 7.
