Assume n=2. Then the first inner loop will run in a range(2,2) which is an empty list. So nothing will happen. Next outer loop: n=3... Actually n becomes 2. But you don't do anything with it. :) Christoph -- ~ ~ ".signature" [Modified] 1 line --100%-- 1,48 All -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
