for i in range(1, 6):
    if i % 2 != 0:
        print(i)

# Type the code above and run it to see the output

Q3

Read the Code and Find the Errors

Each snippet has an error. Fix the code so it runs correctly.

Q3.1 — Fix the If Statement

This should print "five" when x equals 5. Find and fix the error:

x = 5
if x == 5 print("five")

Q3.2 — Fix the For Loop

This should print numbers 0 through 9. Find and fix the error:

for i in range(10) print(i)

Q3.3 — Fix the String Method

This should print the name in uppercase. Find and fix the error:

name = "Alice"
print(name.Upper())

Q3.4 — Fix the Sum Call

This should print the sum of the first two numbers. Find and fix the error:

numbers = [1, 2, 3]
print(sum(numbers[0], numbers[1]))

Q3.5 — Fix the Comparison

This should print "ten" when x equals 10. Find and fix the error:

x = 10
if x = 10:
    print("ten")

Q3.6 — Fix the Loop Syntax

This should print numbers 0 through 4. Find and fix the error:

for i range(5):
    print(i)
