What two whole, positive numbers that have a one-digit answer when multiplied and a two-digit answer when added? riddle source: http://riddles.com/
How to?
We need to declare 2 variable
sum
and
mult
:
sum
is to check the sum of the 2 digits.
mult
is to check the multiplication of the 1 digit.
And both should be assigned as 0.
sum = 0
mult = 0
Now we need 2 for loops to iterate through the needed numbers The numbers should be between 1 and 9, beacuse their multiplication should be only 1 digit. 1-Any number multiplied by 0 will result 0
2-Any number less than 10 multiplied by 10 or a number greater than 10 will result to number of 2 digits
for x in range(1, 10):
for y in range(1, 10):
sum = x + y
mult = x * y
if(sum >= 10):
if(mult < 10):
print(str(x) + " and " + str(y))
break
And finally we need to break the iteration at the end of the second loop to avoid iterating through the same numbers twice.
Answer
> 9 and 1
