Question 110

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.
