No, he's got the equivalent function in his while statement: while (guess != number): The idea is to stay in the loop as long as they're UNequal, and then drop out to the "Congratulations" part. But comparing floats as equal or not equal is never a very robust idea. http://www.python.org/doc/faq/general/#why-are-floating-point-calculations-so-inaccurate _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
