Answer:
# initialize variables
n = int(input("Enter the number of numbers you want to multiply: "))
product = 1.0
# post-test while loop
i = 0
while i < n:
num = float(input("Enter a number: "))
product *= num
i += 1
print("The product of the numbers is: ", product)
Step-by-step explanation:
We start by asking the user to enter the value of N, which represents the number of numbers they want to multiply.
We then initialize the variable "product" to 1.0 because we will be multiplying the numbers and starting with 1 will avoid any issues with a zero product.
Next, we use a post-test while loop, which means that the loop will execute the code block inside it and check the condition only after the code block has been executed.
Inside the loop, we ask the user to enter a number, which is then stored in the variable "num".
We then update the value of "product" by multiplying it with the "num" variable.
The variable "i" is used as the counter for the loop and is incremented by 1 after each iteration.
Once the loop finishes executing, the final value of "product" will contain the product of all the numbers entered by the user.
The final product is then printed to the user.
Note: This program uses a post-test while loop, which means that the code inside the loop will execute before the condition is checked. It's also important to note that the value of N must be given by the user, not hardcoded in the program.
