If you're not using Python 2.4, then read up about > "slices" - which is when you get subsections of a string (e.g. > "tony"[2:4] is "ny"). You can pass a 'direction' in a slice as well. It might also help to have a better feeling for what Jim already knows. If this is a school assignment, I doubt that reversed() is allowed, nor reverse slices, since that would make the problem too easy. *cough* Jim, can you give a brief description of what things you've learned already? Do you already know about loops? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
