Question

See more:

Read a positive integer (N) from user input. Write a for loop to count and print the number of 0's in N.
 
Note: must use the for loop.
 
Hint:
in; if ...;

 
Example 1:
Input:

20020200
Output:

5

What I have tried:

<pre># read an integer

n = int(input())

# initialize count

count = 0

# write a for loop with proper iterable
for i in str(n):
    if i == 0:
        count = count + 1
    else:
        continue

print(count)

You read a string and convert it to an integer value. Why do you then convert it back to a string? And in your loop you test if the character is equal to the integer value 0, which will never be true. All you need is:

Python

# initialize count
count = 0
# write a for loop with proper iterable
number = input()
for i in number:
    if i == '0':
        count = count + 1

print(count)
