I am having trouble figuring out a solution after a couple hours now
of playing with the code. I'm trying to make a latin square using the
code below:
scaleorder = int(raw_input('Please enter a number for an n*n square: '))
topleft = int(raw_input('Please enter the top left number for the
square: '))
firstrow = range((topleft),scaleorder+1)
count = 0
while count < 8:
for i in firstrow:
print i
count += 1
firstrow[i+1]

It seemed like I could make the for loop work by doing something like
this:
for i in firstrow:
print i, i+2
It's a bit hard to understand what you're trying to do, but if
my guess is anywhere close to truth, you might be trying
to make the first line of a latin square by incrementing
from a specified number. In this case, you should make a range
from topleft to scaleorder+topleft, and if you want the
top row randomized, you can use random.shuffle():
from random import shuffle
scaleorder = int(raw_input('Please enter a number for an n*n square: '))
topleft = int(raw_input('Please enter the top left number for the
square: '))
firstrow = range(topleft, scaleorder+topleft)
shuffle(firstrow)
print firstrow
Does this help? -m
