find the smallest square width but encounter modulo by zero error
I code such a function to find the smallest square of an land
def find_smallest(small, big):
if small == big:
return small
else:
sub_small = big % small
sub_big = small
find_smallest(sub_small, sub_big)
but it report error as
>>> find_smallest(640, 1280)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "<stdin>", line 7, in find_smallest
File "<stdin>", line 5, in find_smallest
ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero
There is not a modulo by zero error.
What's the problem?

Consider find_smallest(2,8).
In the first loop you set sub_small = big % small = 8 % 2 = 0 and sub_big = small = 2. Then you call find_smallest(0,2).
In the second loop you then try to do sub_small = big % small = 2 % 0 which you cant do.
