'>' not supported between instances of 'int' and 'str'

[mp3909]

yep but in the second iteration of the for loop i=1 and col[i][1] i.e. col[1][1] still contains an integer, no?

you cannot compare integers to string.
you need to make both sides the same type, like

if len(word) > len(col[i][1]):

you cannot put len(col[i][1]) as that gives an error object of type 'int' has no len()

At the beginning of the for word loop, yes. But then it gets replaced with a string in the first iteration of that loop, so on the second iteration you get the error.

Hey, i got it now. you was right. i just started out with a list of empty strings.
