Using a post-test while loop, write a program that lets the user enter 10 integers and then calculates and displays the product of only those that are odd. Compare the trace table for this program and the one that you wrote for your pre-test while loop exercise last class. CodeHs and Python 3

Answer:

# Initialize variables to keep track of the numbers and the product

count = 0

product = 1

# Loop until the user has entered 10 integers

while count < 10:

# Get an integer from the user

number = int(input("Enter an integer: "))

# If the number is odd, update the product

if number % 2 != 0:

product *= number

# Update the count

count += 1

# Display the product of the odd integers

print("The product of the odd integers is", product)

Step-by-step explanation:

the program uses a post-test while loop, which means that the loop body is executed before the condition is tested. On each iteration, the program gets an integer from the user and updates the product if the number is odd. The loop continues until the user has entered 10 integers. Finally, the program displays the product of the odd integers.

The trace table for this program would be similar to the one for the pre-test while loop, but with some differences in the order of operations. In the post-test while loop, the loop body is executed before the condition is tested, whereas in the pre-test while loop, the condition is tested before the loop body is executed.
