Question

I wanted to construct a small program in python, counting the probabilities of a random number being divisible by a number.

In C, i would create an array, with the numbers and loop through them, adding one to another array that would store the sum of these probabilities.

I tried to do that in python with the tuples, but i cannot change their value. So what is the easiest way to do this?

Here is the code:

primes = (2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29)
numbers =(0,0,0,0,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0)

for number in range(2,10000):
    for div in primes:
        x = 0
        if(number % div == 0):
            numbers[x]  += 1
        x+=1



print(numbers)

Answer 1

The probability of a random integer being divisible by an integer n is 1/n.
