There are 100 characters  in the string(string.printable)
I deleted '\n\t'. So 98/say 4==24.5 So if there is a fraction
I have to round it off to 1. So 24.5 should be rounded off
to 25..But is there a better way to print it  in given number
of columns

>>                 for y in range(x,len(v),x+((len(v))/columns)):

No. How can I ensure that every value is an integer  but without missing
in retrieving an element in the string.
