A student has written a program to count and output the total number of factors of a user-entered positive integer (including 1 and the number itself).
Figure 1 shows the student's program.
1 num = int(input("Enter a positive integer: "))
2 factor_count = 0
3 count = 1
4 while count < num:
5 if num % count == 0:
6 factor_count = factor_count + 1
7 count = count + 1
8 print(factor_count)
Describe how line 4 should be changed so that the program in Figure 1 works correctly.
