Well, that depends on what you mean by 'right'. I'm going to give you two
solutions; one that answers your apparent question, and one that addresses
what i suspect is your true question.

I don't want to sound rude, but I think you'll be better served by
telling us why you would want to do such a thing - ten to one someone
can suggest a better way to acomplish

Hello,
being an almost complete Python AND programming neophyte I would like to ask
the following - very elementary, as I might suspect - question:
How do I do the following flawed things right:
a1=a2=0
def f(x):
if x == a1:
a1 = a1 + 1
elif x == a2:
a2 = a2 + 1
Now
