Supposed to print out even numbers

[DallasPCMan]

When I execute this code:

list1 = [1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100]
num = 0
# using while loop
while (num < len(list1)):

    # checking condition
    if num % 2 == 0:
        print(list1[num], end=" ")

        # increment num
    num += 1

The output I am getting is:

1 9 25 49 81

I can't see why. The code comes from Geeks for Geeks website.

Thanks

The code is checking if the counting variable num is even instead of a value of a item in the list

The reason for this is that your code is checking to see if num is even, when you really want to be checking list1[num]:

    # checking condition
    if list1[num] % 2 == 0:
        print(list1[num], end=" ")

Okay, thanks. It was bugging me because if you run it with list1 = [10, 21, 4, 45, 66, 93] it works fine.

It works because the even items happen to be at even indices, so yeah, it's wrong.

Most importantly, do you understand now why your original solution was wrong?
