1. You're missing an initial value for i.
2. You never increment i, so the while loop will never exit.
3. The syntax 'if i==t[]' is wrong.
4. The way you have this code set up, you would need two loops: an outer
   loop for i from 1 to 25, and an inner loop for the items in t.
5. As others have said, this is a poor way to go about it.  You want to
   use "if i in t".
