Do you remember we used the Python range function while learning a loop? Let me remind you of an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

for i in range(5):
print(i)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"python<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The range function is used to create a list of numbers on the basis of a number given by the user. The user gives a starting and ending number. If the user only mentions one number as in the above example then 0 is considered as the starting number and the number given by the user is considered as the ending number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a third input that a user can mention while calling the range function named \u201cstep\u201d. The step is the increment number. By default, the step is 1. Let\u2019s take a look at examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Start, Stop and Step in Range<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the table of two, the starting number is 2 ending number is 20 and the step size is 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let write a python for loop<\/a> to print this table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

for i in range(2,21,2):
print(i)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The following is the output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"python<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Reverse Range<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We can also the range function to create the numbers in reverse order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a look at an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

for i in range(10,2,-2):
print(i)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Reverse<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

floating numbers in range() function<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Python Range function does not accept the float numbers. If you try to use a float number then you will receive a TypeError<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Range<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Creating List using the Range function <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Suppose you need a list of numbers from 1 to 10 or the result of two\u2019s table stored in the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a look at how to create it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

num = list(range(1,11))
print(num)
two_table = list(range(2,21,2))
print(two_table)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
