Here is the problem I am having. The program works perfect but I need to
add the following:
# a) write a function, getDivisors(), that returns a list of all
# of the positive divisors of a given number. for example -
# result = getDivisors(24)
# print(result)
# would yield: "[ 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12]"
# b) write a program that uses your function to determine which
# numbers between 1 and 10,000 are perfect. (answer: 6, 28, 496
# and 8128 are perfect!)
I know that mystring needs to be added. I need help
Thank you in advance
I don't see any 'mystring' in the source or in the assignment; why
would you think you need it?
It asks you to write a function called getDivisors(). You have all the
pieces in your present code, but it's all inline. Probably your
professor wants you to learn to code in small functions, so your code is
more likely to be reusable.
So what part of the function description is unclear? And is it unclear
because you don' t understand one of the math terms, or because you
don't know how to code it? She wants a function that takes a single
argument (number), and returns a list
def getDivisors(number):
do some stuff
return mylist
You'll probably want to write another one that adds up the elements of a
list (or you could find it in the stdlib). Then your main should be
pretty straightforward.
