I recently wrote a program to determine perfect numbers.....
n=raw_input("Please input a number: ")
factors = []
p=int(n)
for k in range(1):
x=0
while x < p-(p/3):
x=x+1
z = p/x
if p%z == 0:
factors.append(z)
if factors.count(z) > 1:
factors.remove(z)
print "The factors are,", factors
print "the sum of the factors is", sum(factors)
if sum(factors) == 2*p:
print "Therefore,", p ,"is a perfect number as the \nsum of its factors is twice itself."
else:
print "Therefore,", p ,"is not a perfect number"It works fine.....
Yet when I modify it ever so slightly to calculate every perfect number up to a certain value,
n=raw_input("Please input a number up to which the computer \n will calculate perfect numbers: ")
factors = []
p=int(n)
t=0
while t <= p:
t=t+1
for k in range(1):
x=0
while x < t :
x=x+1
z = t/x
if t%z == 0:
factors.append(z)
if factors.count(z) > 1:
factors.remove(z)
if sum(factors) == 2*t:
print t ,"is a perfect number as the sum of its factors is twice itself."
print "The factors are,", factors
print "the sum of the factors is", sum(factors)I get this reply from python...
3 is a perfect number as the sum of its factors is twice itself.
The factors are, [2, 3, 1]
the sum of the factors is 6
Whats going on??
