P-lan

Plan the solution with appropriate visualizations and pseudocode.

General Idea: Loop from 5 to 100, stepping up by 5 each time.

def multiples_of_five():
    for num in range(5, 101, 5):
         print(num)

print(multiples_of_five())
# Output:
# 5
# 10
# 15
# 20
# 25
# 30
# 35
# 40 ....
# 100

Alternative Solution:

def multiples_of_five():
    for num in range(5, 101):
        if num % 5 == 0:
            print(num)


print(multiples_of_five())
# Output:
# 5
# 10
# 15
# 20
# 25
# 30
# 35
# 40 ....
# 100
