                 Using the range() Function

                 The range() function is an in-built function of Python. This function generates a list which is
                 a sequence type. A sequence is a succession of values bound together by a single name. The
                 range() function is used in the for loop to iterate over the numbers.

                 The general syntax of using the range() function is given below.

                    range(n): Generates a set of whole numbers starting from 0 to (n–1).
                     Example: range(6) is equivalent to [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5].

                    range(start, stop): Generates a set of whole numbers starting from ‘start’ to ‘stop–1’.
                     Example: range(3, 9) is equivalent to [4, 5, 6, 7, 8].


                                                                Conditional and Looping Statements in Python         133
