range python step code example

Example 1: for in range loop python

#there are two possibilities for a for loop
#first one is with a range()
#range() just generates lists after the following pattern

print(range(4))
>>> [0,1,2,3]
print(range(1,4))
>>> [1,2,3]
print(range(2,10,2))
>>> [2,4,6,8]

#and what the for does then is that it lets a variable (in my example x) cycle trough the list given after in

for x in range(2,10,2):
  print(x)
>>> 2
>>> 4
>>> 6
>>> 8

#so the code in the loop gets executed for every value in the given list after in
#you can also use for ... in for custom lists
#example 1:

list1 = [1,2,50,2]

for x in list1:
  print(x)

>>> 1
>>> 2
>>> 50
>>> 2

#example 2

list2 = ["bananas", "apples", "pears"]

for x in list2:
  print(x)

>>> "bananas"
>>> "apples"
>>> "pears"

Example 2: range between things py

num1= = 100
num2 = 904574
range_between_num1_and_num2 = num2 - num1

Example 3: python range

# range(start, stop, step)
  # start = (can be ommitted) index to begin at (INCLUSIVE)
  # stop = generate numbers up to, but not including this number (EXCLUSIVE)
  # step = (can be omitted) difference between each number in the sequence

# idx:  0	1	2	3 	4
# arr:  19	5	3	22	13
  
arr = [19,5,3,22,13]

# range(stop)
for i in range(len(arr)):
    print(arr[i]) # prints: 19, 5, 3, 22, 13

# range(start, stop)
for i in range(2, len(arr)):
    print(arr[i]) # prints: 3, 22, 13
    
# range(start, stop, step)
for i in range(0, len(arr), 2):
    print(arr[i]) # prints: 19, 3, 13
    
# reverse:
for i in range(len(arr)-1, -1, -1):
    print(arr[i])

Example 4: range in python

#range(start,stop,step)
for x in range(0,20,2):
  print(x)

Example 5: range in python

for i in range (start, step, stop):
  dosomething()

Example 6: range python start at 1

>>> def range1(start, end):
...     return range(start, end+1)
...
>>> range1(1, 10)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
