Python Program to Display the Multiplication Table

In this post, we will write a Python program to display the multiplication table. We’ll use a while-loop, a for-loop, and a function, providing detailed explanations and examples for each approach.

So without any further ado, let’s get started…

Python Program to Display the Multiplication Table Using while-loop

Let’s start with the algorithm. We will discuss each and every step to write this program and then jump into source code.

Algorithm

1. Take input from the user (num).
2. initialize i = 1.
3. while i<=num do
   print(f"{num} X {i} = {num*i}")
i+=1
4. End the program

Based on the above algorithm, we now understand how to write this program but Before we delve into the programming part, there are a few essential programming concepts you should be familiar with:

1. How to take input from the user
2. Operators in python
3. while- loop

Source Code

num = int(input("Enter a number: "))

i = 1  # initialization
while i<=10:
    print(f"{num} X {i} = {num*i}")
    i+=1

Output

Enter a number: 5 5 X 1 = 5 5 X 2 = 10 5 X 3 = 15 5 X 4 = 20 5 X 5 = 25 5 X 6 = 30 5 X 7 = 35 5 X 8 = 40 5 X 9 = 45 5 X 10 = 50

Python Program to Display the Multiplication Table Using For-loop

Algorithm to write program to display multiplication table using for-loop is very similar to while-loop algorithm there is only syntax changed so let’s seen it.

Algorithm

1. Take input from the user (num).
2. Using for-loop iterate from 1 to 10 (for i in range(1,11)).
3. Inside for-loop print(f"{num} X {i} = {num*i}")
4. End the program

From the above algorithm, the steps are clear but Before we jump into the programming part few programming concepts you have to know:

1. How to take input from the user
2. Operators in python
3. for- loop

Source Code

num = int(input("Enter a number: "))

for i in range(1,11):
    print(f"{num} X {i} = {num*i}")

Output

Enter a number: 7 7 X 1 = 7 7 X 2 = 14 7 X 3 = 21 7 X 4 = 28 7 X 5 = 35 7 X 6 = 42 7 X 7 = 49 7 X 8 = 56 7 X 9 = 63 7 X 10 = 70

Python Program to Display the Multiplication Table Using Function

Algorithm

1. define a function with the name mul_table (def mul_table(n)).
2. Inside the function do:
   for i in range(1,11):
print(f"{num} X {i} = {num*i}")
3. Outside of the function take input from the user (num).
4. at the end call the function with the user input (mul_table(num)).

From the above algorithm, the steps are clear but Before we jump into the programming part few programming concepts you have to know:

1. How to take input from the user
2. Operators in python
3. for- loop
4. Python Functions

Source Code

def mul_table(n): # define a function
    for i in range(1,11):
        print(f"{num} X {i} = {num*i}")

num = int(input("Enter a number: "))
mul_table(num) # calling a function

Output

Enter a number: 9 9 X 1 = 9 9 X 2 = 18 9 X 3 = 27 9 X 4 = 36 9 X 5 = 45 9 X 6 = 54 9 X 7 = 63 9 X 8 = 72 9 X 9 = 81 9 X 10 = 90

This covers how we can write a Python program to display the multiplication table using different approaches. I hope you understand all the approaches, and thank you for reading this article.
