The range() Function

To loop through a set of code a specified number of times, we can use


the range() function,

The range() function returns a sequence of numbers, starting from 0 by


default, and increments by 1 (by default), and ends at a specified number.

Example
Using the range() function:

for x in range(6):
  print(x)
Note that range(6) is not the values of 0 to 6, but the values 0 to 5.

The range() function defaults to 0 as a starting value, however it is possible to


specify the starting value by adding a parameter: range(2, 6), which means
values from 2 to 6 (but not including 6):

Example
Using the start parameter:

for x in range(2, 6):
  print(x)

The range() function defaults to increment the sequence by 1, however it is


possible to specify the increment value by adding a third parameter: range(2,
30, 3):

Example
Increment the sequence with 3 (default is 1):

for x in range(2, 30, 3):
  print(x)

Else in For Loop


The else keyword in a for loop specifies a block of code to be executed when the
loop is finished:

Example
Print all numbers from 0 to 5, and print a message when the loop has ended:

for x in range(6):
  print(x)
else:
  print("Finally finished!")

Nested Loops
A nested loop is a loop inside a loop.

The "inner loop" will be executed one time for each iteration of the "outer loop":

Example
Print each adjective for every fruit:

adj = ["red", "big", "tasty"]
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]

for x in adj:
  for y in fruits:
    print(x, y)
