I've got the following lists :

list1:=[1, 5, 14, 30, 55, 91, 140, 204, 285, 385, 506, 650, 819, 1015,

1240, 1496, 1785, 2109, 2470, 2870]
list2:=[1, 5, 14, 30, 55, 91, 140, 204, 285, 385, 506, 650, 819, 1015,

1240, 1496, 1785, 2109, 2470, 2870]

each generated by a procedure I defined. I need to verify that they are equal, which is the case. However, when I tried to use the evalb function as well as a flag that I was updating during a loop, in both cases, I got 'false' as  the answer along with the error message: 

"error, final value in a for loop must be numeric or a character"

What I am doing wrong?
