Anyway - I will try to `field test' the material shortly ... I will make the correction which you suggested - I was trying to imply `the line while count > 9:' by justing stating `while' - maybe, its better to be more explicit and say - the lines after `while count < 9:' .... Anish,

I think you meant "The lines you write after the ":" is called the `body’ of the loop." Things are seeming to be pretty simple when you put it like this. I cant think from a 8th class point of view but I do believe it will be simple for them too.. You are not leaving any scope for a question out there.. Explaining every teeny bit of detail.. Probably a book should be written like this.. ( I am a fan of the suspense you used to create in the classes, where you will stop in the mid and we were supposed to guess things out. ) Once again Great going Sir. Programmers call…The lines you write after the `while’ is called the
