To match the semantics of range(), the final value to ctr must be less than but not equal to 10.5. >>> print ctr 10.6 Your solution does not do this -- it goes one steps too many, and then misleadingly fails to print the value. This is a bug waiting to hit, any time somebody runs your loop then goes to use ctr outside the loop. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
