> while (guess != number): This is your problem. Like all^h^h^h most numbers in computing, floating point numbers are stored in binary. They only approximate the decimal values they print out as. Two numbers can print as the same value but actually have different values. If you want to see if the numbers are identical to 10 decimal places, use this instead: while (abs(guess-number) > 0.0000000001): _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
