It's not. I'm passed homework age.

I don't now if posting a code that gets into a while loop and never stops
would demonstrate to you that I've tried. Be assured that before posting to
the list I did try to solve it myself, because I knew that I might get an
answer like RTFM or similar.
Maybe I'm not smart enough, but I can't make python to start reading after
the "parameter1" line and stop at the "end" line. That's all I want a small
piece of pseudocode to do just that.

Thanks
