You're welcome, but one very important thing to note is that you should always post to this list in plain text, not HTML. That's because HTML loses the formatting of the code (see below) and in Python formatting is very important. > def factoria(numb): > While numb > 1: > If numb==0: > return 1 > Else: > result = numb*(numb-1) > numb = numb -1 > return result > factoria(5) As you see we lost formatting, however this code would never run because it is not valid Python. Python is case sensitive so you need to use 'while' not 'While' etc. > #should output 120 > What am I not getting right? Another important point when postring is to always include any error messages(in full) that you get. They contain vital clues as to what is wrong. I see Bob Stepp has replied re the actual code, so I assume his mail reader managed to interpret it correctly - or maybe he just guessed. But following the above guidelines will help you get good answers more quickly in future. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
