Joseph, great :-) It is a friendly place to learn. I have a suggestion about one way you might take your efforts to improve things. <snip code> > ########## > # To Display the histograph of the students Marks > # 25 is the Max marks > # > > for j in range(25): > #print j , "is ",array.count(j) > print j,"x" * array.count(j) > j += 1 Hard-coded magic numbers like 25 here are something it often pays to eliminate. If you know that every test or assignment for the entire future of time is out of 25, then it is fine. But, you can plan for the future and be more general by trying to accommodate varying point totals. If you try that and get stuck, post about it. Good luck with however you choose to improve your approach.
