Hello,
Answer is indeed 972!!
Here is the fixed code:
The thing you were doing “wrong” is that in your for loops you were iterating from range(1,99), while it should be from 1 to 100.
This is because range() function in Python is the same as:
range(a,b) -> [a, b[
That is, upper limit is not accounted in the range.
Best regards,
Bruno
