You need a little more than that. If the inheritance is to be in proportion to the ages, you need to know at least one actual age, rather than just the age gaps. Maybe the exercise is to write a function that takes the age of, say, the youngest child and then calculates the inheritances? Anyway, your starting point will be to work through an example on paper so you are clear about what the calculations are. -- Ben. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
