Hi Kermit, Your basic data structure is a list (actually, several related lists), which you work your way through. So I would start off with a for loop: for k in range(len(mult)): Then, in the body of the loop, your basic logic is: Add 1 to mult[k]. If mult[k] is not too big, exit. Otherwise, ... Hmm, actually, I'm not sure I do understand. Does mpylist ever change? How is mult related to zlim? -- John. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
