[Tutor] Printing a list count - Help

[Derek Jenkins]

honor_roll_count = 0
student_grades = ["A", "C", "B", "B", "C", "A", "F", "B", "B", "B", "C", "A"]

for grades in student_grades:
    if grades == "A" or grades == "B":
        honor_roll_count = honor_roll_count + 1
print honor_roll_count



That works more to my liking. Thanks a million, Danny and Bob!
