python float object cannot be interpreted as an integer

Question

Problem:

I am a python newbee. I was trying some code :

x = int(input("Input an Integer："))
  res = [x]
    while x != 1:
  --->   for i in range(2, a):
            if x % i == 0:
                res.append(i)
                x = x / i
                break
    print(res)

 

but this code shows some error message and it did not compile. The error message is :

TypeError: 'float' object cannot be interpreted as an integer

 Can any one tell me why am I getting this kind of error message?

Answer 1

In your program you should write:

x = x // i

Instead of:

x = x / i

And you should not put x on your list

So your code should be like

x = int(input("Input an Integer："))
  res = []
    while x != 1:
  --->   for i in range(2, a):
            if x % i == 0:
                res.append(i)
                x = x // i
                break
    print(res)

Let me know if this helps you or not, Happy Coding.
