Question

The code provided below is intended to input a positive integer from the user and display the total number of its factors. However, there are syntax and logical errors in the code. Rewrite the code after removing all the errors. Underline all the corrections made.

```python
n = int(input("Enter a positive integer:")
c = 0
for i in range (n + 1):
    if n % i = 0:
        c += 1
print(c)
```

The correct answer is Subjective. **Corrected Code:** ```python n = int(input("Enter a positive integer:")) # Correction 1: Added missing closing parenthesis c = 0 for i in range (1, n + 1): # Correction 2: Started range from 1 to avoid ZeroDivisionError if n % i == 0: # Correction 3: Used == instead of = for comparison c += 1 print(c) ``` **Errors Identified and Removed:** 1. Missing closing parenthesis `)` at the end of the `input` line. 2. Logical Error: The default `range(n + 1)` starts from 0, which would result in a `ZeroDivisionError` on the first iteration (`n % 0`). It must be corrected to `range(1, n + 1)`. 3. Syntax Error: Assignment operator `=` was used instead of the equality operator `==` inside the `if` condition.
