LOL. As to me being a newbie to programming, well, I've been programming to some extent for the last 10 years, although never professionally. The first few questions were enough to help me solve the problem that I had. And I've been programming Python for 4 months or so, but it's been pretty intense, my current code is about 1000 lines or so for the program that I am doing. The reason I had this need is basically trying to correct a mistake that I had made, sometime I passed a function characters, other times I passed it numbers, and I needed to have one uniform system. But, after a while, I found that I really didn't need this uniformed system, so I was alright. But, thanks for all of our help!
