Understanding the Range Function in Python
Introduction
In this tutorial, we will focus on understanding the
range function in Python. The range function is a
powerful built-in function that allows you to generate a
sequence of numbers efficientlyComplex Data Types in
Python
● Primitive: numbers, strings, Booleans
● Complex: lists, tuples, dictionaries
Type Conversion and Manipulation in Python
● Converting between data types: int(), float(), str()
Using the For Loop to Iterate Over Lists in Python
● Use the for loop to iterate through elements of a list
● Syntax: for i in list:
Understanding the Range Function in Python
● Generates a sequence of numbers
● Syntax: range(start, stop, step)
Checking for Existence of Items in Lists with the In
Operator
● in operator checks if an element exists in a sequence
● not in operator checks if an element does not exist in a
sequence

also specify a start and end value for the sequence using the
following syntax:
range(start, end)
This will generate a sequence of numbers from start to end-1.
Checking for Existence of Items in Lists
You can check for the existence of an item in a list using the in
operator. For example:
my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
if 3 in my_list:
