Thanks for the clarification, but I'm still a tad confused. I'm not sure when
to indent. I understand that it has to be done. That link was really
confusing. Very newb non-friendly. Arrg... That site is doom. So confusing.
I need somewhere to start from the beginning. This site uses all kinds of big
words and doesn't explain things in a clear manner. Oh well. Thanks for the
help, though.Au> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: tutor@python.org> Date: Thu, 24

Also, as mentioned previously, keep in mind that 2 is not the same as "2" > and
"=" is not the same as "==". The single "=" is used to assign names to >
objects, whereas the == is for evaluating something, so for if statements > use
== and not =. Also note you can put "and" along with if, so you can say> > if
