title: Compute Product Python General formula
body: <p>Trying to get this to post the following 3 lines as a result.  Nothing more, nothing less.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>The product of the numbers <code>1</code> through <code>10</code> is: <code>3628800</code></p></li>
  <li><p>The product of the first <code>3</code> numbers divisible by <code>3</code> is: <code>162</code></p></li>
  <li><p>The product of the numbers <code>0</code> through <code>-100</code> is: <code>0</code></p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Start is where the sequence starts, number is where it ends, and space is the space between the numbers (<code>1</code> is every number, <code>2</code> is even numbers only, etc).</p>
  
  <p>I am a beginner to this, and need some assistance</p>
  
  <p>This is what I have s far, but I'm not sure what to define findproduct as.  I was thinking something along the lines of making a loop and setting <code>n =</code> to <code>n+1</code> but I still have no idea where to take this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>def findproduct(start, number, space):
      # code here
      pass
  
  product1 = findproduct(1, 10, 1)
  print("The product of the numbers 1 through 10 is:", product1)
  
  product2 = findproduct (2.0, 5, 2)
  print("The product of the first 5 even numbers is:", product2)
  
  product3 = findproduct (3, 3, 3)
  print("The product of the first 3 numbers divisible by 3 is:", product3)
  
  product4 = findproduct (0.0, 100, -1)
  print("The product of the numbers -1 through -100 is:", product4)
  </code></pre>
