Hint: type(make_power(2)) Did you expect that to return "int"? > # Create a set of exponential functions > f = [lambda x: x ** n for n in xrange(2, 5)] > g = [make_power(n) for n in xrange(2, 5)] The result of make_power(n) is a function that raises it's argument to the power of n. I don't know what you are trying to do. Maybe this? g = [make_power(n)(2) for n in xrange(2, 5)] or g = [make_power(2)(n) for n in xrange(2, 5)] -- D'Arcy J.M.
