Counting Up 📈
Let us count up from a low number to a high one using range with a start! 🚀
Start and Stop 🎯
range(2, 6) counts 2, 3, 4, 5. It starts at 2 and stops before 6.
for i in range(2, 6):
print(i)Count 1 to 5 🖐️
Count from 1 up to 5 (use 6 as the stop!).
for i in range(1, 6):
print(i)Count 10 to 13 🔢
Start anywhere you like!
for i in range(10, 14):
print(i)Why Plus One? ➕
To include 5, the stop must be 6, because range stops BEFORE the end.
for i in range(1, 6):
print("Count:", i)Countdown to Party 🎉
Count up the days!
for day in range(1, 4):
print("Day", day)Add Them Up ➕
Count up and keep a total!
total = 0
for i in range(1, 5):
total = total + i
print(total)Times Table ✖️
Print the 2 times table by counting up!
for i in range(1, 5):
print(2 * i)Numbered List 📋
Use the count to number items.
for i in range(1, 4):
print("Item number", i)Count from Zero 0️⃣
You can still start at 0 if you want.
for i in range(0, 5):
print(i)Counting Up Power 💡
With range(start, stop) you count from any low number up to any high number. Super handy! 🎯
