Difficulty understanding calculation errors [closed]

I have written some code, but it doesn't get the right results all the times
and I can't understand what is the problem.
For example, I changed for to be in range(2) and give it 570 and 594, the right answer is 594 16 but it gives me 570 16 but in some other cases it will work properly and I don't know what is the problem!



maxim=0
maxnum=0
def divisor(number):
counter=0
for i in range(0,number):
if number%(i+1) == 0:
counter+=1
return counter


for i in range(20):
num=int(input())
divis=divisor(num)
if maxim<divis:
maxnum=num
maxim=divis
maxnum=num
print(maxnum,maxim)

    Litter your code with print functions, or properly step through it with a debugger, and decipher where the logic in your code is wrong. ericlippert.com/2014/03/05/how-to-debug-small-programs is a good read for that as well.

both 594 and 570 has 16 divisors each. You are changing the maxnum only if the number of divisors is greater than the current maxim. So since 570 comes as the first input maxnum will be 570. change like this,



if maxim<=divis:
if (maxim==divis and num>maxnum) or maxim<divis:
maxnum=num
maxim=divis

    your maxnum update condition is maxim<divis. 570 and 594 got same divis, so maxnum is 570

    • That would appear to be the desired behaviour, to find the number with the maximum number of factors. (But if two numbers have the same max number of factors, the OP needs to pick the biggest, but that's a slightly separate matter)
