Hi guys, yeah still in the battle to learn Python. Now I discovered that if I put the print function in its current position, I get 17 printed 7 times. when I push the print in the right position I get 17 printed only once, which is what I expect. why the 7 times?

Anyone willing to discuss this?

my\_list = [17, 3, 5, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2]  
largest = my\_list[0]

for i in range(1, len(my\_list)):  
if my\_list[i] \> largest:  
largest = my\_list[i]

```
print(largest)
```
