Re: [Tutor] How to make the loop work?
It's basically correct but you need to convert the raw_input to integer. c=0 d=int(raw_input(input number limit: )) while 1: c = c + 1 if c == d: break print c ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Re: [Tutor] How to make the loop work?
Hi Bob, You can use a while loop in this case, but range() might be a bit more appropriate! c = 0 d = raw_input(Enter Number Limit: ) for i in range(int(d)): #note, we make sure d is an integer! c = c + 1 print cOn 6/22/06, Bob Gailer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ivan Low wrote: Hi, I'm new to python trying to figure how to make this work. c=0;d=raw_input(input number limit: ) while 1: c = c + 1 if c == d: break print c, My idea is to able to input a number to limit the print out of this loop.

After the reply from Peter by suggesting that I convert the raw_input to int, it works. Sorry that I didn't supply enough information in my post. However I'm curious about the result of my initial code after I enter a number which prompted by the raw_input it just keep printing numbers without break. Why is it acting like that? ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Python will compare any two objects. If their types are not compatible for comparison the result is False. Your program was comparing a character string to a numeric. Their types are not compatible. Hence always False. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor -- Bob Gailer 510-978-4454 ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
