Not quite; 1 + "one" will be "ne", which might happen to be at memory location 2. The data type is going to be char* (or, in a modern compiler, const char*), not int. That said, though, I think that (in this obscure circumstance) it would compare equal with 2. For what that's worth. :) ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
