Please post using plain ascii text instead of html. With the latter, it is
difficult to insert comments that look like comment where they belong.
# using for loop
number = 10
while number !=0 :
number = input("Enter a number: ")
Your first error is here: you are using 'number' as both a loop control
variable and a data input variable. So the loop will continue until
someone enters a 0.
Also, never use input in a program others will use until you understand why
it is dangerous. So, replace above with something like
n = int(raw_input('Enter an integer: '))
