First day beginner to python, add to counter after nested loop

Tue Oct 29 13:40:38 EDT 2013

I have a 25 row javascript that i try to convert to python to get into the language but i run into problem i do not understand howto reach outer loop after finnish inner loop, in fact i do not understand when finished. The javascript i try to conver is below. 

#!/usr/bin/python
import math
# Function definition is here
def sq(number):

   square=1;
   factor=2;
   exponent=2;
   print(x,"= ");
   while (number>3):
     while (square<=number):
       factor+=1;
       square=math.pow(factor,exponent);
   ----now i want to add conter when loop finished, no end like basic????
   ??? factor--;	
   ??? print(factor," ");
   ??? square=math.pow(factor,exponent);
   ??? number=number-(factor*factor);
   ??? square=1; 
   ??? factor=1;
   ---here does second loop finish
return

print("Exp=x^2");
for x in range (22,23):
      sq(x);

Here is the javascript with loop i try to convert.

   exponent=2;
   document.write(x,"= ");
   while (number>3){

   while (square<=number)
     {      factor++;
            square=Math.pow(factor,exponent);

   }
   factor--;	
   document.write(factor," ");
   square=Math.pow(factor,exponent);
   number=number-(factor*factor);
   square=1; 
   factor=1;
  } 
  document.write("+",number,"<BR>");
}
document.write("Exp=x^2<BR>");
for (x=1;x<100;x++){
      sq(x);
     }
