    <p>I have just had browse through your code, and while you probably have it figured out now I thought a few suggestions might help you get more into python.</p> <p>Firstly, style is really important with python, being a white space language. The language also has some great features that can condense the amount of code down, which again encourages a good style. There is something called PEP guides, which introduce this. <a href="http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/" rel="nofollow">PEP-8</a> is the style guide for python, I would highly recommend reading through it, if you are getting more into python.</p> <p>Also when I was learning python I found this <a href="http://sheddingbikes.com/LearnPythonTheHardWay.pdf" rel="nofollow">learning python the hard way guide</a> an excellent resource. Python is really fun when you get into, hope you're enjoying it! Below is another version of your code that might make more sense. </p> <pre><code>import random # All imports should be at the top, if you know # you are going to use them. def menu(): print("Menu:") print(" 0. Menu") print(" 1. Random Number Generator") access = int(input("Make a selection from the above list: ")) return access # See explanation access = menu() # See explanation if access == 1: count = 0 b = 0 while count &lt; 100: count += 1 a = random.randrange(1,101) print(count,". ", a, end = " | " ) b += a print() print("Finish!") print(b) print(b/100) menu() else: menu() </code></pre> <p>**Explanation: It is important to store the value of access into a variable here. You cannot set a value inside a function and expect it to update for the rest of the script. This is because of scoping. </p> <p>**Also if you are expecting the menu to be called again every time after a selection has been executed you while need to rethink the structure somewhat.</p> <p>Another way of doing this is to use a for loop. To do this you would having something like:</p> <pre><code> for i in range(100): a = random.randrange(1,101) print(count,". ", a, end = " | " ) b += a print() print("Finish!") print(b) print(b/100) menu() </code></pre>

    1. COIf you're trying to show him python style, you should do `if access:` instead of `if access == 1` and `for count in range(100):` instead of `count = 0`, `while count < 100`, and `count += 1`. Undo your change to his print statement: he's using Python 3, `end` makes perfect sense. Also, get rid of the `else` on the `while` or `for` loop: it should only be used if sometimes you `break` out of the loop, otherwise it's the same as putting the statements after the loop.

    2. COThanks for the suggestions, I have spent most of my career in and around vfx where python 3.0 is rarely used yet. I purposely tried not to edit his code to much, hoping it would be more beneficial to him learning wise to fix it himself after reading through the guide. When I am trying to learn something I find it hard when people make all of the corrections for me.

    3. CONo criticism intended, I just thought I'd mention the other changes (especially 'end') since you were already talking about style, and they didn't deserve a new answer.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
