while loop (python)

Question

why doesn't it work?
def main ():

inputmyarray = [9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2] ;
number = len(inputmyarray)
i = 0 ;
while i < number:

print (inputmyarray[i])
++i ;

if __name__ == '__main__':
main() ;

Answer 1

@Justin Hill:

In Python semi-colon ( ; ) is not mandatory, but it's allowed (required in case of multi instruction on a single line)... The only error in the code quoted in question is the use of ++i wich isn't effectively not allowed in Python and need to be replaced by either i += 1 or i = i + 1 ^^

Answer 2

Python doesn't use ; .. It also doesn't use ++.. remove the ; and change ++i to i+=1

*Visph is correct about ( ; ) .. Python doesn't mind them, but they aren't necessary. Still, ending specific things in ( ; ) is a good habit to get into
