Ah sorry the task is to make a function for this: def tTable(n): tTable(n),even n, returns the initial triangular n-1 x n-1(triangular table i posted before) table as a list of lists. For example, tTable(4) returns [[1, 2, 3], [3, 4], [5]]. Sorry if i was a bit vague, but i don't know how to explain it any better :(. And thanks for the tips! I will definitely read up on it when i get the time. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
