def checkio(number):

    while number>0:
        reszta=number%10
        print(reszta)

        print(number)
        if reszta!=0:
            iloczyn=iloczyn*reszta
    return iloczyn

#These "asserts" using only for self-checking and not necessary for auto-testing
if __name__ == '__main__':
    assert checkio(123405) == 120
    assert checkio(999) == 729
    assert checkio(1000) == 1
    assert checkio(1111) == 1

Why the prints? Do they contribute functionally?

Is postdigging a word? ``` def checkio(number): result=1 while number>0: last=number%10 number//=10 if last==0: continue result*=last return result ```

The variable names make this difficult to read. Is there a meaning behind these names that a casual observer should understand? Interesting strategy with popping off the end number to analyze. This solution could be more pythonic if instead of popping the digits, you iterated over each of the digits, and multiplied them into a variable. Consider this: <pre class='brush: python'>y = 1 for x in str(number): if x != "0": y *= int(x) return y </pre>

<blockquote> Is there a meaning behind these names...? </blockquote> They are just the Polish equivalents of remainder (reszta) and product (iloczyn). I have to admit: sometimes non-English names make it difficult for me to see the code. But we should not shy away from using our native tongue.

That's a nice solution. You might consider using `divmod()`, which combines `//` and `%` : <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html?">https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html?</a>#divmod

Who have added +51 to this solution?! =) No spaces, unclear variable names, strange prints...

print(...) must have remained from their internal checks, in the stream of solutions this solution attracts attention :)

nice and straightforward solution. keep up the good work 👍

Nice solution. But it can be also solved via converting the number to a string and then iterating over it.
