⟩ Explain me what Is A Built-In Function That Python Uses To Iterate Over A Number Sequence?
range() generates a list of numbers, which is used to iterate over for loops.
for i in range(5):
print(i)
The range() function accompanies two sets of parameters.
☛ range(stop)
☛ stop: It is the no. of integers to generate and starts from zero. eg. range(3) == [0, 1, 2].
☛ range([start], stop[, step])
☛ start: It is the starting no. of the sequence.
☛ stop: It specifies the upper limit of the sequence.
☛ step: It is the incrementing factor for generating the sequence.
☛ Points to note:
☛ Only integer arguments are allowed.
☛ Parameters can be positive or negative.
☛ The <range()> function in Python starts from the zeroth index.
