As discussed already, you can't use fixed values (ie, you don't know
that 10 is always going to be there).

>     while n <= 10:                                                                                                             
>         print s                                                                                                                
>         n = n + 1

So, instead of 

    while n <= 10:                                                                                                             

Think about:

    while something <= n:

and changing something and retesting.
