nested for loops

[John Salerno]

Can someone tell me why 'n' in this example isn't 2?
for x in range(2, n):
print 'x =', x, 'n =', n


x = 2 n = 3

x = 2 n = 3

Assume n=2. Then the first inner loop will run in a range(2,2) which is an
empty list. So nothing will happen.

Next outer loop: n=3...

Actually n becomes 2. But you don't do anything with it.

It is, but range(2,2) doesn't do anything

Thanks guys! I was thinking range(2, 2) gave you 2, for some reason!
