Hi, thanks for helping.
After the reply from Peter by suggesting that I convert the raw_input to 
int, it works.
Sorry that I didn't supply enough information in my post.
However I'm curious about the result of my initial code after I enter a 
number which
prompted by the raw_input it just keep printing numbers without break.
Why is it acting like that?
