multiply_3#
Write a function called multiply_3
that has one parameter called n
. This function contains a while
loop that continually multiplies a number n
by 3 until it is greater than 100. The function should return the final value of n
.
You can assume that every input value of n
is greater than zero.
A step by step example of sample 1:
n = 10
Since n = 10 is not greater than 100, we multiply n by 3.
n = 10*3; n now equals 30
Since n = 30 is not greater than 100, we multiply n by 3.
n = 30 * 3; n now equals 90
Since n = 90 is not greater than 100, we multiply n by 3.
n = 90 * 3; n now equals 270
Since n = 270 is greater than 100, we return 270.
Notice that steps 2, 4, 6, and 8 are checking for the same condition and steps 3, 5, and 7 are all multiplying n by 3. Your task is to condense these steps into a while loop for any arbitrary value of n > 0.
