Pls tell me what should I do?

Answer 1

Elsa Cavandish ,

> to follow the 2nd comment from Mila to use input() statements instead of `hard-coded` input values is ok.

> the recommendation in the 1st comment to use:
`(popsicles % siblings == 0 or siblings % popsicles == 0)`
is *not required*, keep your code just as it is:
=> if (popsicles % siblings == 0):

Answer 2

You also need to write popsicles=int(input()) instead of popsicles=20 and siblings=int(input()) instead of siblings=10.

Answer 3

Elsa Cavendish ,

i have done a try with the corrected version, it runs and passes all test cases.

siblings = int(input())
popsicles = int(input())

#your code goes here
if (popsicles % siblings == 0):
print("give away")
else:
print("eat them yourself")

(to avoid typos copy the code and insert it in the python code coach editor. also check that there are no unwanted characters in the code editor)

Elsa Cavendish ,

you are welcome. and it is good news that you found the issue.
happy coding!

Answer 5

siblings = int(input())
popsicles = int(input())

if siblings == 0:
print("give away") # or "eat them yourself", depends on problem's edge case handling
else:
if popsicles % siblings == 0:
print("give away")
else:
print("eat them yourself")

Answer 6

Elsa Cavandish ,

the current code uses 2 hard-coded input values: siblings = int(10) , ...
> replace these values with the input() function like:

...
siblings = int(input())
...

Answer 7

Write a line in if "(popsicles % siblings == 0 or siblings % popsicles == 0)". Output: give away.

Answer 8

Two of the test cases are still wrong in which they need to satisfy "eat them yourself" condition but only one condition can be fulfilled so how do I get all test cases right?

Answer 9

Elsa Cavandish ,
can you please just publish your current code that creates the issue?

thanks!
