Hi Jim, [cut] Ok, that's where I have to stop you for a moment. We're not going to do your homework problems; please understand that we actually don't care if you get your homework done. And I really hope that people don't just start blurting stuff at Jim for the other three homework problems he's dumping on us. You mentioned earlier that you didn't understand backwards slices, so how can you use them with a clear conscience without knowing why they work? Why don't you ask more questions? We really care about helping you figure out how to solve your problems yourself. But if you just pick and choose answers from generous folks, and present that as your own work to your class, without really understanding what's going on, then you are wasting our time. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
