How to multiply each integer "one by one" and display result "in progressive order" until all integers multiplied leads to the overall product

Question

Recently, I've tried creating a for loop that multiplies each integer in the list and returns each sequential product until the overall product of all integers is given.

import operator
from operator import mul
from functools import reduce


s = list(map(int, input('Enter numbers WITH SPACES: ').split(' ')))


progression_product = [];
for i in s:
      progression_product.append(reduce(mul, s[0:i]))

#This loop below removes repeating results. As for progressive order multiplication of positive
#integers. It's impossible to have a repeating result.(excluding multiple 1's and 0)

for ss in progression_product:
  if progression_product.count(ss) > 1:
    progression_product.remove(ss)

print(progression_product)

- Notice that the output skips the result for 13 below. But finishes correctly for the overall product of all integers at the end of the listed output

Enter numbers WITH SPACES: 12 2 3 4 13 133
[24, 72, 288, 497952]
> 12*2*3*4*13
>3744

Question

Is there any way to fix this bug? Why would python skip the result at 13? And, how do I fix it?

Your problem is in this: for i in s: It most definitely does not do what you think it does. – Hypotaxis

Answer 1

You are iterating over the elements of s, not the indexes. Print the list before removing the duplicates, it will be:

[497952, 24, 72, 288, 497952, 497952]
# Which are the products of:
[s[0:12], s[0:2], s[0:3], s[0:4], s[0:13], s[0:133]]

Replace the first loop by a index loop, either by range(len(s)) or by enumerate(s):

# Either this:
progression_product = [];
for i in range(len(s)):
      progression_product.append(reduce(mul, s[0:i]))

# Or this:
progression_product = [];
for i, v in enumerate(s):
      progression_product.append(reduce(mul, s[0:i]))
