Hi, I’m trying to write a script that iterates through a list of numbers, adding them until they reach a maximum, and then printing the lists of values. I have a list of four numbers that can be used and a Target number for the max limit: [image] import Rhino.LengthValue as rl import Rhino.Geom…

Hello, To get your variables back out of the functions you need to return something, eg return SizeList and assign the returned variable to something, eg SizeList = start(i, j, SizeList)

the script looks dense to me for what you describe. Is this the output you’re after? [image] list-max-target.gh (7.0 KB)

Better not use list as a variable name, as it is also a keyword in Python. You’re now hiding the original list

ah, thanks. Is that also problematic when using it as an argument like I did?

I didn’t have coffee yet it seems, because I don’t need to send that list to the function:
