Mastering the Art of Skipping Multiples and Digits

Introduction

In this project, you will learn how to create a function that generates a list of numbers from 1 to 100, skipping any numbers that are multiples of a given number or contain that number.

Enter a number: 7
>>> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 38, 39, 40, 41, 43, 44, 45, 46, 48, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 64, 65, 66, 68, 69, 80, 81, 82, 83, 85, 86, 88, 89, 90, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 99, 100]

🎯 Tasks

In this project, you will learn:

How to implement the jump_x function to generate the desired list of numbers
How to take user input and use it in the function
How to run the function and observe the output

🏆 Achievements

After completing this project, you will be able to:

Understand how to create a function that skips certain numbers based on a given condition
Implement user input in a Python program
Run a Python script and interpret the output

Implement the jump_x Function

In this step, you will learn how to implement the jump_x function in the jump_x.py file. Follow the steps below to complete this step:

Open the jump_x.py file in your preferred code editor.
Locate the jump_x function definition:

def jump_x() -> list:
    """
    Generate a list from 1 to 100, skipping numbers that are multiples of x or contain x.

    Args:
        x (int): The number to be skipped.

    Returns:
        list: The generated list.
    """
    x = int(input("Enter a number: "))
    result = []
    for num in range(1, 101):
        if num % x == 0 or str(x) in str(num):
            continue
        result.append(num)
    return result

The function takes an input x from the user, which is the number to be skipped.
It then generates a list of numbers from 1 to 100, skipping any numbers that are multiples of x or contain the digit x.
The function returns the generated list.
Save the jump_x.py file.

Run the jump_x Function

In this step, you will learn how to run the jump_x function and see the output.

Open a terminal or command prompt.
Navigate to the directory where the jump_x.py file is located.
Run the following command:

python3 jump_x.py

The program will prompt you to "Enter a number:". Enter a number, for example, 7.
The program will output a list of numbers from 1 to 100 that do not contain the number 7 or multiples of 7.

Your output should look similar to this:

Enter a number: 7
>>> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 38, 39, 40, 41, 43, 44, 45, 46, 48, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 64, 65, 66, 68, 69, 80, 81, 82, 83, 85, 86, 88, 89, 90, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 99, 100]

Congratulations! You have successfully implemented the jump_x function and tested it.
