Answer to Question #347097 in Python for madhu

Question

given a list of M numbers and a positive integers N, print the sum of numbers whose position in the list is divisible by N .consider that the position of numbers range from 1 to N

INPUT:

the first line contains two-spaced integers N, M

the second line contain M space-separated integers.

output:

print a single integer representing the required sum

explanation:

Sample Output1

Given N=1 , M=7

and the number list = [4,8,6,6,7,9,3]

As every position is divisible by 1,

4+8+6+6+7+9+3=43

so the output should be 43

Answer 1

N, M = input().split()
numbers = [int(n) for n in input().split()]
buff = 0
for i in range(int(M)):
	if (i+1) % int(N) == 0:
		buff += numbers[i]
print(buff)
