Example-2: Python range() function
print(range(10))
print(range(0, 30, 5))
print(range(0, -10, -1))
Output:
# range upto 10 print(range(10)) # range upto 30 but 5 step jumps print(range(0, 30, 5)) # range() works with negative print(range(0, -10, -1))
Example-3: Python range() works with negative step
# range upto 10
print(list(range(10)))
# range upto 30 but 5 step jumps
print(list(range(0, 30, 5)))
# range() works with negative step
print(list(range(0, -10, -1)))
Output:
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] [0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25] [0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9]
