A program has been written in Python to display all the odd integers between 1 and the largest odd number smaller than an integer entered by the user - AQA - GCSE Computer Science - Question 15 - 2021 - Paper 1

To modify the provided Python code to accurately handle cases where the user might input an odd integer less than 1, we need to adjust the while loop condition. The modified code will display the odd integers starting from 1 and will continue to display odd integers until it reaches an upper limit that is odd and less than the user input. Here’s the revised code:

odd = 1
number = int(input("Enter an integer: "))

if number < 1:
    number = 1

while abs(odd) <= abs(number):
    if odd > 0:
        print(odd)
    odd += 2

print("Finished!")

In this code:

• I added a check to set the number to 1 if it is less than 1, ensuring the program will display odd numbers starting from 1.
• The absolute values of odd and number are compared within the while loop, allowing for the correct display of odd integers both above and below zero.
