[solved] stuck in python time's up

Question

it asks to create a program that countdowns the seconds til zero

one of the expected outputs is 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0

i did this:

number = int(input())
while number > 0:
print (number)
number = number - 1

but the zero wasn't included. should i use == instead of > ? or something else? i tried a lot of things but couldn't solve it and didn't get a hint either

Answer 1

What you are looking for is a combination of > and ==, which is >=, the 'greater than or equal to' comparison operator.

Answer 2

you should use " >= " to include Zero .

Answer 3

Mozzy ty!!!

Answer 4

One more available solution is using -1 instead of zero.

Answer 5

# take the number as input
number = int(input())

#use a while loop for the countdown
while number >=0:print(number);number = number - 1

This above is the right code^

Answer 6

It is not working. Is there a bug in the app, it says try again something went wrong...

Answer 7

Guys, i also stuck for a while 😄 but finally passed.

# take the number as input
number = int(input())

#use a while loop for the countdown
while number >= 0:
print(number)
number = number - 1

That's the correct form 👌

Answer 8

Minhaj Zaidi the identation in the above code is wrong, leading to the countdown not running or the system reading a large code to run. The 3rd and 4th line identation is key to the code. Finally figured it out though. Thanks Thanks for the response .

Answer 9

make sure that you are using proper indentation:

number = int(input())

while number >= 0:
print(number)
number = number -1

you can also write it like so:

while number >= 0:
print(number)
number -= 1

Answer 10

The count down is from 5 so 0 must be less

While number >= 0:
print(number)
number = number - 1

# Take the number as input
number = int(input())

# Use a while loop for the countdown
while number > 0:

while number > 0:
number = number - 1
print(number)

Answer 14

I struggled with this for 30 minutes, until I came here and realized I was typing
while number>0:
Instead of
while number>=0:
Of course I had to have the = in order to count 0 itself 🤷🏼‍♂️

😅😅😅

Answer 15

number= int(Input())
while number >=0 :
print (number )
print ("\n")
number = number-1

I wanted to make a new line after every count. But it doesn't work. What's wrong in my code? :)
