Python program that displays the multiplication table

Instructions

The purpose of this Python mini project is to write a Python program that displays the multiplication table. The program will prompt the user to enter a positive integer, validate the input, and then display the multiplication table from 1 to 10 for that number. It is Python challenge to practice loops lists and exceptions

1. Write a Python program that prompts the user to enter a number.
2. Validate the input to ensure it is a positive integer.
3. Create a loop that iterates from 1 to 10.
4. Within the loop, multiply the input number by the current iteration value.
5. Display the multiplication table by printing the equation in the format “number x iteration = result”.

Steps

1. Prompt the user to enter a number using the "input()" function and store it in a variable.
2. Use a "try-except" block to validate the input. If the input cannot be converted to a positive integer, display an error message and prompt the user again until a valid input is provided.
3. Convert the input to an integer using the "int()" function and store it in a variable.
4. Create a "for" loop that iterates over the range from 1 to 11.
5. Within the loop, calculate the result by multiplying the input number with the iteration value and store it in a variable.
6. Print the multiplication table by using the "print()" function to display the equation in the format
   “number x iteration = result”.

Python Mini Project source code

while True:
    try:
        number = int(input("Enter a positive integer: "))
        if number <= 0:
            raise ValueError
        break
    except ValueError:
        print("Invalid input. Please enter a positive integer.")

for i in range(1, 11):
    result = number * i
    print(f"{number} x {i} = {result}")

Expected Output

Enter a positive integer: 9
## Output:

9 x 1 = 9
9 x 2 = 18
9 x 3 = 27
9 x 4 = 36
9 x 5 = 45
9 x 6 = 54
9 x 7 = 63
9 x 8 = 72
9 x 9 = 81
9 x 10 = 90
