Dave is correct, but if you want to format text to a certain width, it is
better to have Python count how many spaces you need:
py> 'spam'.rjust(20)
'spam'
py> 'spam'.ljust(20)
'spam'
py> 'spam'.center(20)
'spam'
In recent versions, you can even specify the fill character:
py> 'spam'.center(20, '.')
'spam'

You probably ran it with Python 2. That code was written for Python 3
and assumes that division of two ints will return a float. You can
also fix it by adding the line "from __future__ import division" at
the top of the file.

I like your method, but I get a column of '*'. Maybe you have other intentions
of your code. I am puzzled about the last part of your code and want to learn
from it (" * " " + "*" ").

That is a fundamental, basic part of programming in Python. If you don't learn the basics, you will never be a good programmer. Have you done any Python tutorials? It's not enough to read them, you must actually do the work. This might get you started: results = [] # Start with an empty list. for value in range(100): results.append(math.sin(value)) but that probably will not give you the results you are hoping for, as sin expects the angles to be given in radians. Perhaps you mean to scale the angles over a full circle? tau = 2*math.pi # number of radians in a full circle angles = [] values = [] for i in range(100): angle = i*tau/100.0 angles.append(angle) values.append(math.sin(angle)) Alternatively, here's a slightly shorter way: angles = [i*tau/100.0 for i in range(100)] values = [math.sin(angle) for angle in angles] -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

You can use `list(math.sin(x * math.pi / 2) for x in index)` or use `numpy`, which supports array math. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
