(2)not sure why this function doesn't work:word_count = 0 #set up variable to increment through text def increment(x): return x+1 increment(word_count)
You need to capture and assign the result (or possibly restructure to work with a mutable or simply use word_count+=1 ):
word_count = increment(word_count) Emile _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
