Yuck :( What happens if the list changes? I suggest that you reread the post from Steven D'Aprano but slightly restate your original post such that you are looking for names where the final letter is the lower case equivalent of the first letter. In that way your code should consist of four lines, the list of names, one for loop, one if statement and one print function, the latter assuming Python 3.
Hope this helps. -- Cheers. Mark Lawrence _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
