Make sure to use a loop to validate the input before you proceed to finding the sum of the

I tried but when the program inputs certain numbers it is off by 1:(

Answer 1

validinput=False
while not validinput:
    try:
        num=input("Input a number:")
        if 25030<=int(num)<=999999:
            validinput=True
        else:
            pass
    except:
        pass

unit=int(num[0])
hundred=int(num[2])
ten_thousand=int(num[4])
sum_of_digits=unit+hundred+ten_thousand
print(sum_of_digits)
