Question 127

A student has written a program to calculate and display the sum of all positive multiples of 3 up to and including a target limit input by the user.

Figure 5 shows the student's Python program.

1  limit = int(input())
2  total = 0
3  current = 3
4  while current < limit:
5      total = total + current
6      current = current + 3
7  print(total)

State the line number from the program in Figure 5 which contains the error that prevents the program from working correctly when the user enters a multiple of 3.
