Q:1 >>> round(123.45678, 4) 123.4568 Q2: Something like this works: stores=[] for i in xrange(0,5): x=raw_input("input number for store=%i ?" % i) stores.append(int(x)) for i in xrange(0,5): hundreds, remainder=divmod(stores[i], 100) print "Store: %i %s" % (i+1, hundreds*"*") -Larry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
