Thanks for the advice  
 But I need to display the results 
  What should I do in the for loop  for this message
to go 
  my for loop is as 

for   j in range(length)  :
        if seats[j] <> seats[j+1]:
                print " The Seat", j , "And the seat",
j+1 , "value, which are", seats[j]," and", seats[j+1],
"are not same" 
        else:
                print "The Seats ",j ,"And the seats",
j+1, "Values,", seats[j], "and", seats[j+1], "are
same"
      Thanks 
         Joseph John
