Yes, with probably a try/except block and a while loop around it to handle invalid input. There are two good reasons for doing this instead of using input: - it guarantees that the input is in fact an integer (raises ValueError otherwise) - it protects against malicious input (you can do a lot of damage in an input(), whatever you type is eval'ed) For input of unknown integers, you are on your own, Python does not have anything built-in for that ;-) Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
