Nathan, Can you show us an example of the data? And what you want to do to it, ie before and after values.
Its not clear to me whether you want to add the number to the number while keeping it in the tuple (Which is impossible because tuples are immutable) or whether you simply want to access the data to use in an addition/subrtraction storing the result elsewhere (which is perfectly possible) Alan G. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nathan Pinno" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <tutor@python.org> Sent: Friday, June 23, 2006 2:20 AM Subject: [Tutor] Is this correct syntax for what I want? I want to be able to add and subtract from a number in a tuple in a list. Is this the correct syntax? letterlist[x] = letterlist[x] + amount # for addition letterlist[x] = letterlist[x] - amount # for subtraction If this is not correct, what is the correct syntax?
