It would be better if you posted your code on this forum rather than in a link.

I have looked at your code. Please rewrite and use meaningful variable names. It is very hard to follow your intentions when you use cryptic / single-character variable names.

A few observations:

• I am confused by: if i != length: break as surely that means loop will only execute once?
  
• you also initialise i to zero but then use it as the counter in a for loop
  
• range() starts at zero by default
  
• you are in danger of index going out of range with the i+1 when you are counting to the last item
  
• you are incrementing i after the while loop, why? (You don't seem to use it)
