Well, there you go. There *is* something wrong with having six variables called 'q'.
Sometimes you don't want only six variables called 'q' but a hundred of them :-) def fac(q): if q < 1 : return 1 else: return q * fac(q-1) print(fac(100))
That's only one variable called 'q', instantiated 100 times simultaneously.
Bare with me, i come from a C world, and think of each variable, whatever its name or scope, as a piece of memory and therefore different. btw. I like the idea of simultaneously instantiation :-) Jan Kuiken -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
