Answer 1

Jayakrishna🇮🇳 you're absolutely correct. I missed the fact that the question was about Python code. Thanks.

Answer 2

If am not wrong, it don't work in python Sonic
No unary ++/-- operators in python

Answer 3

Emily disregard my previous answer about x++. That's a syntax used in other languages like C/C++, Java and others but not Python.

Answer 4

Short form of x=x+1 is x+=1.
Using there in loop to increment x value from x=1 to x=10
When x<10 becomes false ,loop gets terminated...

Answer 5

Another way to write it is x++

Answer 6

Emily It is a short form of x = x+1
You can write x = x+1, it's your choice but writing x += 1 is much shorter and saves time

Answer 8

In this code, u are separating the numbers into odds and evens between 1-10.
U have initially started from 1 and the code checks are less than 10 or not then continues.
x+=1 represents increment the number to one as x=1, the next number would be 2.
You can also use x++ if u are confusing with that.
