stupid > comparison question

[adetheheat]

I have a list with a value of 4 at index 2. I compare this with a value of 200 to see if it is greater ... and strangely it says it is:

eg

print deltaList[2], thr2nd, deltaList[2] > thr2nd

I get this output: 4 200 True

This is obviously wrong but what am I doing wrong ?

Regards

There are no stupid questions, knowing that a question has to be asked shows intelligence!
add:

print('datalist[2]: {}, thr2nd: {}'.format(datalist[2], thr2nd))

To be really sure they contain what you think they contain.
