It's fine to a computer, which has a sense of time. And it even can be strictly true. Consider: >>> x = 2.0**53 >>> x = x + 1 >>> x == x + 1 True x is clearly not infinity, yet it's equal to itself plus one. If you're going to try to pretend that maths and computers are exactly the same, you have a LOT of problems to deal with. In computing, assignment and reassignment aren't at all problematic, and neither is printing to the console, so please stop telling people off for using them. ChrisA
