Which creates all sorts
try 'for in' as in:
def func(aref):
return [aref] * 3
a = 'else!'
for b in func(a):
print 'something' + b

Subject: loop control in Pyt
some C compilers - on Mac or Irix - will warn you about that sort of behaviour
(even if you put brackets around it). There are the infinite loops and the
infamous one = test traps (a == comparison is needed, but a = is left off).
perl -we while($line=)

Janos,
Hi, you can use range() together with for (and probably other methods as
well), e.g.
start=100
stop=120
step=3
for i in range(start, stop, step):
print i
should do the trick, you can also play around with negative parameters to
range()
Good luck.

for i in range(1,5):
print i
