Hello Tobi, According to: http://www.python.org/doc/ref/bitwise.html I think you're looking for the exclusive or (XOR) bitwise operator '^'. For example: ###### >>> bits = [0, 1] >>> for x in bits: ... for y in bits: ... print x, y, x ^ y ... 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 ###### Is this where you're getting stuck, or is it somewhere else? Good luck to you. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
