Question 6: Print All ODD Numbers in a Range [9 Marks]

Problem Statement
Write a program in Python to accept lower and upper limit of a range of numbers from the user and
print all the odd numbers in that range.

Concept
• A number is odd if it is NOT divisible by 2, i.e., number % 2 != 0
• The program accepts two integers: lower limit and upper limit from the user
• A for loop iterates through all numbers in the range (inclusive of both limits)
• An if condition checks whether each number is odd and prints it

Algorithm
• Step 1: Accept lower limit from the user using input()
• Step 2: Accept upper limit from the user using input()
• Step 3: Convert inputs to integers using int()
• Step 4: Use a for loop from lower to upper+1 (to include upper limit)
• Step 5: Inside the loop, check if number % 2 != 0
• Step 6: If condition is true, print the number

Program
▶ Python Code:
# Program to print all Odd numbers in a given range # SPPU - TE Electrical
(2019 Course) # Accept lower and upper limits from the user lower =
int(input('Enter the Lower Limit: ')) upper = int(input('Enter the Upper
Limit: ')) print('\nOdd numbers between', lower, 'and', upper, 'are:') #
Iterate through the range for num in range(lower, upper + 1): if num % 2 !
= 0: # Check if number is odd print(num, end=' ') print() # For
new line at end

Sample Output
Input/Output — Example 1:
Enter the Lower Limit: 1 Enter the Upper Limit: 20 Odd numbers between 1 and
20 are: 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19
Input/Output — Example 2:
Enter the Lower Limit: 5 Enter the Upper Limit: 15 Odd numbers between 5 and
15 are: 5 7 9 11 13 15

Explanation
The range(lower, upper + 1) function generates all integers from lower to upper inclusive. The
modulus operator % gives the remainder when divided by 2. If the remainder is not 0, the number is
odd. The end=' ' argument in print() places numbers on the same line separated by spaces.
Alternative Method – Using range() with step 2:
We can also use range() with a step of 2 to directly generate odd numbers:
lower = int(input('Enter the Lower Limit: ')) upper = int(input('Enter the
Upper Limit: ')) # Adjust start to nearest odd number if lower is even start
= lower if lower % 2 != 0 else lower + 1 print('\nOdd numbers between',
lower, 'and', upper, 'are:') for num in range(start, upper + 1, 2): # step =
2 print(num, end=' ') print()
Question 9: Print Summation of All Numbers in a Range [9 Marks]

Problem Statement
Write a program in Python to accept lower and upper limit of a range of numbers from the user and
print the summation of all numbers in that range.

Concept
• Summation means adding all integers from the lower limit to the upper limit (inclusive)
• A variable 'total' is initialized to 0 before the loop
• Each number in the range is added to 'total' inside the loop
• After the loop, the final sum is displayed
• Python also provides a built-in sum() function with range() for the same purpose

Algorithm
• Step 1: Accept lower limit from the user
• Step 2: Accept upper limit from the user
• Step 3: Convert both to integers
• Step 4: Initialize variable total = 0
• Step 5: Use a for loop from lower to upper+1
• Step 6: Add each number to total (total = total + num)
• Step 7: After the loop, print the value of total

Program
▶ Python Code:
# Program to print the Summation of all numbers in a given range # SPPU - TE
Electrical (2019 Course) # Accept lower and upper limits from the user lower
= int(input('Enter the Lower Limit: ')) upper = int(input('Enter the Upper
Limit: ')) # Initialize sum variable total = 0 # Iterate through the range
and accumulate sum for num in range(lower, upper + 1): total = total + num
# Add each number to total print('\nNumbers from', lower, 'to', upper)
print('Summation =', total)

Sample Output
Input/Output — Example 1:
Enter the Lower Limit: 1 Enter the Upper Limit: 10 Numbers from 1 to 10
Summation = 55
Input/Output — Example 2:
Enter the Lower Limit: 5 Enter the Upper Limit: 15 Numbers from 5 to 15
Summation = 110

Explanation
The loop runs from lower to upper (inclusive, hence upper + 1 in range). In each iteration, the
current number is added to total. After the loop completes, total holds the sum of all numbers in the
range.
Verification for Example 1: 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10 = 55. This can also be verified using the
formula n(n+1)/2 = 10×11/2 = 55.
Alternative Method – Using built-in sum():
lower = int(input('Enter the Lower Limit: ')) upper = int(input('Enter the
Upper Limit: ')) # Python built-in sum() with range() total =
 sum(range(lower, upper + 1)) print('Summation from', lower, 'to', upper, '=',
total)

Alternative Method – Using while loop:

Problem Statement
Write a program in Python to accept lower and upper limit of a range of numbers from the user and
print all the even numbers in that range.

Concept
• A number is even if it is exactly divisible by 2, i.e., number % 2 == 0
• The program accepts two integers: lower limit and upper limit from the user
• A for loop iterates through all numbers in the range (inclusive of both limits)
• An if condition checks whether each number is even and prints it

Algorithm
• Step 1: Accept lower limit from the user using input()
• Step 2: Accept upper limit from the user using input()
• Step 3: Convert inputs to integers using int()
• Step 4: Use a for loop from lower to upper+1 (to include upper limit)
• Step 5: Inside the loop, check if number % 2 == 0
• Step 6: If condition is true, print the number

Program
▶ Python Code:
# Program to print all Even numbers in a given range # SPPU - TE Electrical
(2019 Course) # Accept lower and upper limits from the user lower =
int(input('Enter the Lower Limit: ')) upper = int(input('Enter the Upper
Limit: ')) print('\nEven numbers between', lower, 'and', upper, 'are:') #
Iterate through the range for num in range(lower, upper + 1): if num % 2
== 0: # Check if number is even print(num, end=' ') print() #
For new line at end

Sample Output
Input/Output — Example 1:
Enter the Lower Limit: 1 Enter the Upper Limit: 20 Even numbers between 1 and
20 are: 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20
Input/Output — Example 2:
Enter the Lower Limit: 10 Enter the Upper Limit: 25 Even numbers between 10
and 25 are: 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24

Explanation
The range(lower, upper + 1) function generates all integers from lower to upper inclusive. The
modulus operator % gives the remainder when divided by 2. If the remainder is 0, the number is
even. The end=' ' argument in print() displays all numbers on a single line separated by spaces.
Alternative Method – Using range() with step 2:
We can use range() with a step of 2 starting from the nearest even number to directly generate even
numbers:
lower = int(input('Enter the Lower Limit: ')) upper = int(input('Enter the
Upper Limit: ')) # Adjust start to nearest even number if lower is odd start
= lower if lower % 2 == 0 else lower + 1 print('\nEven numbers between',
lower, 'and', upper, 'are:') for num in range(start, upper + 1, 2): # step =
2 print(num, end=' ') print()
Comparison: Odd vs Even Programs
Feature Odd Number Program (Q6) Even Number Program (Q14)
Condition num % 2 != 0 num % 2 == 0
Check for Remainder NOT zero Remainder IS zero
Output (1-10) 13579 2 4 6 8 10
Step method range(start, end+1, 2) from odd range(start, end+1, 2) from even
