Why cannot jump out the loop?

[Jinming Xu]

Hi Everyone,

I have a very simple python program, which includes a while loop. But to my
surprise, it cannot jump out the while loop. Does anyone know why?

Here is the program:
_______________ ____________
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
n=sys.argv[1]
i=0
while i<n:
print "i=",i," n=",n
i+=1
-----------------------------------------------------

Thanks in advance!

Jinming

ugly C style, better use range

for i in range(int(sys.a rgv[1])):
print i
