multiples of k below n (recursively)

Question

I don't understand how to make the program as described.

I can do it in a non-generalized form, where I know what k is beforehand, but I don't know how to generalize it.

So if i know k is 7, then i can do it. But if i have to generalize it it doesn't work that way. What I need is a generalized version of what I have below

def multiples(k, n):
"""prints multiples of 7 below 500
"""

if k<=n:
    print(k)
    k+=7
    multiples(k, n)
multiples(7, 500)
    

Answer 1

You can add a start parameter to your function, which defaults to 0:

def multiples(k, n, start=0):
    if (start <= n):
        print(start)
        start += k
        multiples(k, n, start)

multiples(7, 500)

Output:

0
7
14
...
497
