Write a program which prints the sum of numbers from 1 to 101 ( 1 and 101 are 
included) that are divisible by 5 (Use while loop)

This is the code:

x=0
count=0
while x<=100:
    if x%5==0:
        count=count+x
    x=x+1
print(count)


Question: How does python know what count means ? I see that its declared. What i wanna 
know is how does it know the iteration or each number it finds divisible by 5 is the 
"Count" ??

It doesn't, it's just a name, and, anyway, in the code, 'x' is the count...

If it _did_ know (which is doesn't), wouldn't it be complaining that 'count' isn't the count but the sum? :-)
