Hi SpinyNorman,

Have you looked at "How to Design Programs"?  This seems like a basic 
enough question that you might find it helpful.

This sounds like a direct application of the material in Section 11 of the 
HTDP textbook:

There are a few more ways of doing this kind of iteration in the language, 
but my guess is that you're looking for a textbook-style solution first?


Good luck!
