Count number of digits using for loop in Python

I want to count number of digits of any digits number without converting the number to string and also using for loop. Can someone suggest how to do this.
num = int(input("Enter any number : "))
temp = num
count = 0
for i in str(temp):
temp = temp // 10
count += 1
print(count)

If you stick to using input, you can't get away the fact that this function prompts a String. As for the for loop, simply count the number of characters in the input string:
num = input("Enter any number : ")
print(len(num))

You don't have to create a temp variable as num already contains the input.
If there should only digits being entered, you can first check that with a pattern, then get the length of the string without using any loop.
import re
inp = input("Enter any number : ")
m = re.match(r"\d+$", inp)
if m:
print(len(m.group()))
else:
print("There we not only digits in the input.")

i = int(input('num : '))
j=0
while i:
j+=1
i//=10
print(j)
Repeats dividing the entered number stored in i by 10 and adds 1 to j (result) Checks From i if it finds it equal to 0 it exits the iteration and prints the result j
i = 103
j = 0
#inside repetition :
i//=10 #i=10
j+=1 #j=1
i!=0 #completion
i//=10 #i=1
j+=1 #j=2
i!=0 #completion
i//=10 #i=0
j+=1 #j=3
i==0 #break
print j #result

Problem in a python program to find 2 digits happy numbers ( stuck in loop )

I'm a beginner in python and I just wrote a program to find 2 digit happy numbers. we should give it a 2 digit number and then if it's a happy number it should print that it's a happy number and if it's not it should loop endlessly in a cycle which does not include 1.
this is my code :
input_number = int(input("Please Enter a positive 2 digits number\n"))
digits = [int(i) for i in str(input_number)]
while input_number != 1:
for i in range(len(digits)):
sum_of_squares = digits[i]**2 + digits[i-1]**2
input_number = sum_of_squares
print(input_number)
if input_number == 1:
print("Happy ;)")
break
my problem is that my program never leaves the loop, for example 49 is a happy number, but when i enter it, it prints 97 endlessly.
what's wrong with my code?

A slight variation to #joyal-mathew 's answer. This would work for any number of digits
input_number = int(input("Please Enter a positive number\n"))
while input_number != 1:
digits = [int(i) for i in str(input_number)]
digit_squares = [i*i for i in digits]
sum_of_squares = sum(digit_squares)
input_number = sum_of_squares
print(input_number)
iter_count+=1
if input_number == 1:
print("Happy ;)")
break

Inside the loop you need to change the value of digits. Also since it's for 2 digit numbers you can just use list indices of 0 and 1.
input_number = input()
digits = [int(i) for i in input_number]
while input_number != 1:
sum_of_squares = digits[0]**2 + digits[1]**2
digits = [int(i) for i in str(sum_of_squares)]
input_number = sum_of_squares
print(input_number)
if input_number == 1:
print("Happy ;)")
break

A recursive and verbose solution:
def is_happy(int_tc, seen = None):
"""checks if the number is a happy number"""
if seen is None:
seen = [int_tc]
sum_squares = sum_of_squares_of_all_digits(seen[-1])
if sum_squares == 1:
return True
elif sum_squares in seen: # check if the numbers are repeating infinitely
return False
else:
seen.append(sum_squares)
return is_happy(int_tc, seen)
def sum_of_squares_of_all_digits(number):
"""return sum of square of all digits"""
return sum([digit ** 2 for digit in get_all_digits(number)])
def get_all_digits(number):
"""gets all the digits from the number right to left one bye one(yield)"""
while(number > 0):
yield number % 10
number = (number - number % 10) / 10

How can I display all numbers in range 0-N that are "super numbers"

The program asks the user for a number N.
The program is supposed to displays all numbers in range 0-N that are "super numbers".
Super number: is a number such that the sum of the factorials of its
digits equals the number.
Examples:
12 != 1! + 2! = 1 + 2 = 3 (it's not super)
145 = 1! + 4! + 5! = 1 + 24 + 120 (is super)
The part I seem to be stuck at is when the program displays all numbers in range 0-N that are "super numbers". I have concluded I need a loop in order to solve this, but I do not know how to go about it. So, for example, the program is supposed to read all the numbers from 0-50 and whenever the number is super it displays it. So it only displays 1 and 2 since they are considered super
enter integer: 50
2 is super
1 is super
I have written two functions; the first is a regular factorial program, and the second is a program that sums the factorials of the digits:
number = int(input ("enter integer: "))
def factorial (n):
result = 1
i = n * (n-1)
while n >= 1:
result = result * n
n = n-1
return result
#print(factorial(number))
def breakdown (n):
breakdown_num = 0
remainder = 0
if n < 10:
breakdown_num += factorial(n)
return breakdown_num
else:
while n > 10:
digit = n % 10
remainder = n // 10
breakdown_num += factorial(digit)
#print (str(digit))
#print(str(breakdown_num))
n = remainder
if n < 10 :
#print (str(remainder))
breakdown_num += factorial(remainder)
#print (str(breakdown_num))
return breakdown_num
#print(breakdown(number))
if (breakdown(number)) == number:
print(str(number)+ " is super")

Existing answers already show how to do the final loop to tie your functions together. Alternatively, you can also make use of more builtin functions and libraries, like sum, or math.factorial, and for getting the digits, you can just iterate the characters in the number's string representation.
This way, the problem can be solved in a single line of code (though it might be better to move the is-super check to a separate function).
def issuper(n):
return sum(math.factorial(int(d)) for d in str(n)) == n
N = 1000
res = [n for n in range(1, N+1) if issuper(n)]
# [1, 2, 145]

First I would slightly change how main code is executed, by moving main parts to if __name__ == '__main__', which will execute after running this .py as main file:
if __name__ == '__main__':
number = int(input ("enter integer: "))
if (breakdown(number)) == number:
print(str(number)+ " is super")
After that it seems much clearer what you should do to loop over numbers, so instead of above it would be:
if __name__ == '__main__':
number = int(input ("enter integer: "))
for i in range(number+1):
if (breakdown(i)) == i:
print(str(i)+ " is super")
Example input and output:
enter integer: 500
1 is super
2 is super
145 is super
Small advice - you don't need to call str() in print() - int will be shown the same way anyway.

I haven't done much Python in a long time but I tried my own attempt at solving this problem which I think is more readable. For what it's worth, I'm assuming when you say "displays all numbers in range 0-N" it's an exclusive upper-bound, but it's easy to make it an inclusive upper-bound if I'm wrong.
import math
def digits(n):
return (int(d) for d in str(n))
def is_super(n):
return sum(math.factorial(d) for d in digits(n)) == n
def supers_in_range(n):
return (x for x in range(n) if is_super(x))
print(list(supers_in_range(150))) # [1, 2, 145]

I would create a lookup function that tells you the factorial of a single digit number. Reason being - for 888888 you would recompute the factorial of 8 6 times - looking them up in a dict is much faster.
Add a second function that checks if a number isSuper() and then print all that are super:
# Lookup table for single digit "strings" as well as digit - no need to use a recursing
# computation for every single digit all the time - just precompute them:
faks = {0:1}
for i in range(10):
faks.setdefault(i,faks.get(i-1,1)*i) # add the "integer" digit as key
faks.setdefault(str(i), faks [i]) # add the "string" key as well
def fakN(n):
"""Returns the faktorial of a single digit number"""
if n in faks:
return faks[n]
raise ValueError("Not a single digit number")
def isSuper(number):
"Checks if the sum of each digits faktorial is the same as the whole number"
return sum(fakN(n) for n in str(number)) == number
for k in range(1000):
if isSuper(k):
print(k)
Output:
1
2
145

Use range.
for i in range(number): # This iterates over [0, N)
if (breakdown(number)) == number:
print(str(number)+ " is super")
If you want to include number N as well, write as range(number + 1).

Not quite sure about what you are asking for. From the two functions you write, it seems you have solid knowledge about Python programming. But from your question, you don't even know how to write a simple loop.
By only answering your question, what you need in your main function is:
for i in range(0,number+1):
if (breakdown(i)) == i:
print(str(i)+ " is super")

import math
def get(n):
for i in range(n):
l1 = list(str(i))
v = 0
for j in l1:
v += math.factorial(int(j))
if v == i:
print(i)
This will print all the super numbers under n.
>>> get(400000)
1

I dont know how efficient the code is but it does produce the desired result :
def facto():
minr=int(input('enter the minimum range :')) #asking minimum range
maxr=int(input('enter the range maximum range :')) #asking maximum range
i=minr
while i <= maxr :
l2=[]
k=str(i)
k=list(k) #if i=[1,4,5]
for n in k: #taking each element
fact=1
while int(n) > 0: #finding factorial of each element
n=int(n)
fact=fact*n
n=n-1
l2.append(fact) #keeping factorial of each element eg : [1,24,120]
total=sum(l2) # taking the sum of l2 list eg 1+24+120 = 145
if total==i: #checking if sum is equal to the present value of i.145=145
print(total) # if sum = present value of i than print the number
i=int(i)
i=i+1
facto()
input : minr =0 , maxr=99999
output :
1

How do you find the first N prime numbers in python?

I am pretty new to python, so I don't fully understand how to use loops. I am currently working on a piece of code that I have to find the first N prime numbers.
The result that is desired is if you input 5, it outputs 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11, but no matter what I input for 'max', the output always ends up being 2 and 3. Is there a way to improve this?
max=int(input("How many prime numbers do you want: "))
min=2
while(min<=(max)):
for c in range(2, min):
if min%c==0:
break
else:
print min
min=min+1

You only increment min in the else block, i.e., if min % c is nonzero for all c, i.e., if min is prime. This means that the code won't be able to move past any composite numbers. You can fix this by unindenting min=min+1 one level so that it lines up with the for and else.

number = int(input("Prime numbers between 2 and "))
for num in range(2,number + 1):
if num > 1:
for i in range(2,num):
if (num % i) == 0:
break
else:
print(num)

Solution: Get the nth prime number entry. Iterate through each natural numbers for prime number and append the prime number to a list. Terminate the program when length of a list satisfies the user nth prime number entry.
# Get the number of prime numbers entry.
try:
enterNumber = int(input("List of nth prime numbers: "))
except:
print("The entry MUST be an integer.")
exit()
startNumber = 1
primeList = []
while True:
# Check for the entry to greater than zero.
if enterNumber <= 0:
print("The entry MUST be greater than zero.")
break
# Check each number from 1 for prime unless prime number entry is satisfied.
if startNumber > 1:
for i in range(2,startNumber):
if (startNumber % i) == 0:
break
else:
primeList.append(startNumber)
if (len(primeList) == enterNumber):
print(primeList)
break
else:
startNumber = startNumber + 1
continue

Try that :
n = int(input("First N prime number, N ? "))
p = [2]
c = 2
while len(p) < n:
j = 0
c += 1
while j < len(p):
if c % p[j] == 0:
break
elif j == len(p) - 1:
p.append(c)
j += 1
print(p)

Its simple. Check the below code, am sure it works!
N = int(input('Enter the number: ')
i=1
count=0
while(count<N):
for x in range(i,i+1):
c=0
for y in range(1,x+1):
if(x%y==0):
c=c+1
if(c==2):
print(x)
count=count+1
i=i+1

The following code will give you prime numbers between 3 to N, where N is the input from user:
number = int(input("Prime numbers between 2, 3 and "))
for i in range(2,number):
for j in range(2,int(i/2)+1):
if i%j==0:
break
elif j==int(i/2):
print(i)
You can see to check a number i to be prime you only have to check its divisibility with numbers till n/2.

The Next Palindrome number

I am beginner in programming, So can you please tell me what's wrong with my code?
I want to print next palindrome number if the number entered by the user (n) is not palindrome
n = int(input("Enter any number :- "))
reverse = 0
temp = n
while (n!=0):
reverse = reverse * 10
reverse = reverse + n%10
n=n//10
if(temp==reverse):
print ("Already palindrome:: ")
if(temp != reverse):
new_temp = temp
new_reverse = 0
for i in range(new_temp,new_temp+10):
while(temp != 0):
new_reverse = new_reverse * 10
new_reverse = new_reverse + temp%10
temp = temp//10
if(new_temp==new_reverse):
print ("Next pallindrome is :- ",new_temp)
break
if(new_temp != new_reverse):
temp = new_temp+1

There are two problems with your code.
1) Your "for i in range" loop calculates the reverse of the temp variable, but you don't change the temp variable's value.
You do
new_temp = temp
for i in range(new_temp,new_temp+10):
[SNIP]
if(new_temp != new_reverse):
temp = new_temp+1 #this value never changes.
So you're making 10 iterations with one and the same value.
2) Ten iterations might not be enough to find a palindrome. Keep going until you find a palindrome.
Working code:
def reverse(num):
reverse= 0
while num:
reverse= reverse*10 + num%10
num= num//10
return reverse
num= int(input("Enter any number :- "))
if num==reverse(num):
print ("Already palindrome.")
else:
while True:
num+= 1
if num==reverse(num):
print ("Next palindrome is : %s"%num)
break

To check if a number is a palindrome, you don't need to convert it to a number. In fact, its a lot simpler if you just check the string equivalent of your number.
>>> i = '212'
>>> i == i[::-1]
True
>>> i = '210'
>>> i == i[::-1]
False
Use this to your advantage, and create a function:
def is_palindrome(foo):
return str(foo) == str(foo)[::-1]
Next, to find the next palindrome, simply increment the number till your palindrome check is true.
Combine all that, and you have:
def is_palindrome(n):
return str(n) == str(n)[::-1]
n = raw_input('Enter a number: ')
if is_palindrome(n):
print('Congratulations! {0} is a palindrome.'.format(n))
else:
n1 = n
while not is_palindrome(n1):
n1 = int(n1)+1
print('You entered {0}, but the next palindrome is {1}'.format(n, n1))
Here is how it works:
$ python t.py
Enter a number: 123
You entered 123, but the next palindrome is 131
$ python t.py
Enter a number: 121
Congratulations! 121 is a palindrome.

If it helps, I believe it's possible to solve this problem with n/2 iterations where n is the length of the input number. Here's my solution in Python:
def next_palin_number(number):
number+=1
# Convert the number to a list of its digits.
number = list(str(number))
# Initialize two indices for comparing symmetric digits.
i = 0
j = len(number) - 1
while i < j:
# If the digits are different:
if number[i] != number[j]:
# If the lower-power digit is greater than the higher-power digit:
if int(number[j]) > int(number[i]):
if number[j-1]!='9':
number[j - 1] = str(int(number[j - 1]) + 1)
number[j] = number[i]
else:
number = list(str(int(''.join(number[:j]))+1))+number[j:]
else:
number[j] = number[i]
i += 1
j -= 1
# Concatenate and return the result.
return "".join(number)

This problem has a wonderful number of ways to solve them.
One of them is
def nearest_palindrome(number):
#start writitng your code here
while True:
number+=1
if str(number) == str(number)[::-1]:
return number
number=12300
print(nearest_palindrome(number))

This is a good fast solution. I saw that the other solutions were iterating and checking through every +1 they did, but this is really slow for big numbers.
This solution has O(n) time if you look at the length of the number
beginNumber = 123456789101112131415161718 #insert number here for next palidrome

now depending on length of your number odd or even generate the output..as in the code
if even then output=temp[::-1]+temp
if odd then temp2=temp1[1:]
output=temp2[::-1]+temp
I am not sure about this solution..but hope it helps
