[Tutor] what? (late nite entertainment) (*)

[Alfred Milgrom]

Hi Gregor:

Hard to work out what is what :) as there seems to be a typo in one line of 
your code:

        if x[z]: x[z*z:n:z]=y[z*z:n:z]

(At least it doesn't work on my machine with Python 2.2)
And unfortunately I can't guess what this line is supposed to be :((

Also the subroutine breaks for n = 1 or less.
Maybe you need a line at the start to say
         if n <2 : return [0]
