Anyone who defines a function should think about 'edge' and 'corner' cases. Recursive definitions often help, since such cases are typically the base cases. When learning a (computer) function, I often test such cases since they are a common place to mess up. tjr -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
