hello im checking if a number is in all 5 of the other lists and when i use the and command it seems to just be checking if it's in a least one of the others, here is the program it's choppy i needed it for a quick calculation so it's not pretty but it's not long:
n2=2 n3=3 n4=4 n5=5 n6=6 n7=7 l2=[] l3=[] l4=[] l5=[] l6=[] l7=[] while n2 < 100: l2.append(n2) n2=n2+2 while n3 < 100: l3.append(n3) n3=n3+3 while n4 < 100: l4.append(n4) n4=n4+4 while n5 < 100: l5.append(n5) n5=n5+5 while n6 < 100: l6.append(n6) n6=n6+6 while n7<100: l7.append(n7) n7=n7+7 possible=[] for num in l2 and l3 and l4 and l5 and l6: # here seems to be the problem possible.append(num) for a in possible: if a-1 in l7: print a any help is great thanks _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
