Welcome! You are in the right place for asking beginner Python questions :-) > I'm thinking there should be a way to do this without the for loop I > used, but I'm at a loss here. Thank you for posting your code, and a specific question about it. Why do you think there “should be a way to do this without the for loop”? If you want to do something with a collection of items, a ‘for’ loop is quite a normal way to do that. (In fact you have not used a for loop, you have used a different syntax called a “list comprehension”. But the main question remains unchanged: Why would you expect to not need some kind of iteration like a ‘for’?) -- \ “Probably the earliest flyswatters were nothing more than some | `\ sort of striking surface attached to the end of a long stick.” | _o__) —Jack Handey | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
