Python Coding Challenge - Question with Answer (01171125)

 

Explanation:

Assign a value to num

num = 5

We set num = 5.

We will use this value for checking divisibility.

Create the list a

a = [5, 10, 11, 13]

This list contains four numbers:

5, 10, 11, 13

Initialize sum variable

s = 0

We create s to store the total of selected numbers.

Starting value = 0

Start loop — go through each value in list

for v in a:

The loop takes each value v from the list:

First: v = 5

Then: v = 10

Then: v = 11

Then: v = 13

Check divisibility using IF + continue

    if v % num == 0:

        continue

We check:

If v is divisible by num (5), skip it.

Check each:

v v % 5 Divisible? Action

5 0             Yes         Skip

10 0             Yes         Skip

11 1              No         Add

13 3              No         Add

continue means: skip the rest of the loop and go to the next number.

Add the non-skipped values

    s += v

Only numbers NOT divisible by 5 get added:

s = 11 + 13 = 24

Print the final answer

print(s)

So the output is:

24
