I need to keep multiplying found values by two with a list and a value

They gave me the first two lines of code. I thought I knew how to do it but I don’t really understand what I’m missing.

class Solution:
    def findFinalValue(self, nums: List[int], original: int) -> int:
        if original in nums:
            for original in nums:
                original = original * 2
            print(original)
        else:
            print(original)
            
yeyo = Solution()
yeyo.findFinalValue()

Answer

I think this is what you’re trying to accomplish?

from typing import List

class Solution:
    def findFinalValue(self, number_list: List[int] = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10], search_value: int = 9) -> int: # Added some default values to test without adding parameters
        _done = False # Created a bool value to act as a switch to disable the while loop
        original_number = search_value # saving the original value since im recycling the original var below
        while _done is False: # Keep doing until the switch above is turned off
            if search_value in number_list: # The condition you needed set
                search_value *= 2 # that action if condition is met
            else:
                _done = True # the off "switch"
        return "Original Number: {} Search value multiplied up to: {}".format(original_number, search_value) # returns both using a formatted string
        #return original_number # Uncomment this line and delete the other return to only return the original number

            
yeyo = Solution()
yeyo.findFinalValue([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10], 2)
