Outer loop not running

[ted_gress]

Hi

I'm working on something and it has a nested while loop. It seems like only the inner loop is running and only once;

Code:

def answer(x, y):

    idbadge = [[0 for i in range(x)] for i in range(y)]

    row = 0
    col = 0
    a = 1

    #################Detemine number of cells###############
    count = 0
    counter = 0
    i=0
    a=0
    while (a < x):
        i = i + 1
        a = a + i
        count = i
        counter = i
        print("Count is " + str(count));
        print("Counter is " + str(counter))


    row = 0
    col = 0
    a = 1
    #n = 0
    ##############Build Matrix###############

    row = 0
    col = 0
    a = 1
    t = 2

    print("Count: " + str(count))


    while col < count:
        while row < count:

            print("Row:" + str(row))
            print("Col:" + str(col))
            print("ID BADGE" + str(a))
            idbadge[row][col] = a
            row = row + 1
            a = a + row

        col = col + 1
        #t = t + 1
        #a = t


    ###############Print Out###############

    #print top row (row 0)
    #print second top row
    #continue printing until row is equal to 4
