I'm doing my first year in university and I need help with this basic assignment.Assignment: Write Python script that prints sum of cubes of numbers between 0-200 that are multiples of 3. 3^3+6^3+9^3+12^3....+198^3=? My script: count = 0 answer = 0 while count<200: if count%3==0: answer = answer + count**3 count = count + 1 print ("Result is: " +str(answer)) Is it all okay?
Just one small point: the assignment says that the numbers should be in the range 0-200, but the loop's condition is count<200 it's excluding 200, so the numbers will actually be in the range 0-199. However, as 200 isn't a multiple of 3, it won't affect the result, but in another assignment it might.
