This is what I've tried but my output is wrong. My program is, to sum up all the integers listed, however with this code just gives me the integer 4500.

What I have tried:

Python

num = int(input('Please Choose a number between 0 and 1000: '))
result = 0

for num in range(0,1001):
    digit = num % 10
    result = result + digit 
    num = num//10
        
    
print('The Total Sum is:',result)

Python

num = int(input('Please Choose a number between 0 and 1000: '))
result = 0

for num in range(0,1001): // you have just overwritten the user's input
    digit = num % 10
    result = result + digit 
    num = num//10
        
print('The Total Sum is:',result)

It should be something like:

Python

num = int(input('Please Choose a number between 0 and 1000: '))
result = 0

for i in range(1, num + 1):
    result = result + i 
print('The Total Sum is:',result)

or even

Python

num = int(input('Please Choose a number between 0 and 1000: '))
result = sum(range(num + 1))
print('The Total Sum is:',result)

You forgot to tell what correct result you are expecting.
You forgot to tell what is supposed to do this code.

You need to explain in detail what is is supposed to do the code and what result you expect.

Your code is doing the sum of a unit digits of all integer, and 4500 is correct result.
