Hi, it is not quite clear from the examples, what should be achieved (I guess, the actual computation is probably mor complex). I'd probably approach an iterative computation iteratively, rather than recursively; e.g. simply: def compute_iteratively(starting_value, number_of_iterations): tmp = starting_value for i in range(number_of_iterations): tmp = tmp + 1 return tmp print(compute_iteratively(starting_value=7, number_of_iterations=3)) hth, vbr -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
