What do you think ‘i = i + 1’ means? (Asking because your idea of what that means may be affecting how you expect the loop to behave.) > Should the maximum result be 4 since 4 +1=5? Try “thinking like the computer”: perform the steps yourself, reading each statement as though you are the computer. Keep a pad and pencil at hand, and make notes on what changes as you go through. See what you-as-computer actually emit onto the paper, and see whether that matches what the Python session produces. -- \ “The difference between a moral man and a man of honor is that | `\ the latter regrets a discreditable act, even when it has worked | _o__) and he has not been caught.” —Henry L.
