DataSmash: >I'm confused. Why is it that when I say "while len(list) < 5:", I get >5 items in my list.
Because the last time when len(list) was < 5, the block of code following the while executed and did something to the list to give it a length >= 5 (otherwise the block of code would be executed again and it wouldn't have been the last time). > list.append(num) There you have it. -- René Pijlman Wat wil jij leren? http://www.leren.nl -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
