Write a short program using python that will:

prompt the user for a number

print out whether the number is a perfect number

prompt the user for another number if the number is not perfect

// program in Python to check perfect number

#function to find number is perfect or not

def is_Perfect_Number(n):

   #total variable

   tot = 1

   i = 2

   #sum of all divisor of number

   while i*i<=n:

       if n%i==0:

           tot = tot + i + n/i

       if tot == n and n != 1:

           return 1

       i = i+1  

   return 0

#read until user enter a perfect number

while True:

   #read integer

   num = int(input("Input an integer: "))

   #call the function

   if(is_Perfect_Number(num)):

       print(num,"is perfect number")

       #if perfect number break

       break

   else:

       print(num,"is not a perfect number")

       #ask again

   print("try again.")

Explanation:

Read number from user and then call the function is_Perfect_Number() with  parameter "num".This will find the sum of all divisor of number.If sum is  equal to number then it will return 1 else return 0.If the number is not  perfect then it will again ask to enter a number until user enter a perfect  number.

Output:

Input an integer: 24

24 is not a perfect number                                                                                                

try again.                                                                                                                

Input an integer: 28                                                                                                      

28 is perfect number
