Hi List, I know a geometric sequence can be produced by: series = [2**x for x in range(7)] But I would like to curtail the sequence before the last element excedes a certain value. Is there a better way of doing it that the following: for x in range(20): series_element = 2**x print

Many, many thanks to all those who replied to my question. I hope the next time I post, it will be with something more advanced. Judging by the volume of replies, is it fair to say that this problem was much too advanced for page 16 of an introductory text? Best wishes, Peter
