def factorList(num):
listOfFactors = []
for i in range <= num:
if num / i == 0:
listOfFactors.append(i)
print(listOfFactors)
factorList(36)
I want the function to go through each number between 1 and the number input until it finds a factor and adds it to a list
range() is a function (it needs parens), and it starts at zero, rather than 1...
You seem to have tried to combine range with a while loop logic, like so
i = 1
while i <= num:
# if ... append ...
i += 1
But you can do the same with list-comprehension
def factorList(num):
return [i for i in range(1, num+1) if num % i == 0]
print(factorList(36))
Output
[1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36]
side-note: For factorization, you only need to loop up to the square-root of the number.
range() is a function that returns a sequence of numbers, so you need to call it like a function.
for i in range(num):
