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(4, 9) is equivalent to [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8].
range(start, stop, step_size): By default, the value Just as the heart repeatedly

requirement.
Example: range(1, 14, 2) is equivalent to [1, 3, 5, 7, 9,11,13].
Imagine, you possess the power of jump statement, allowing you to leap to any
part of the universe. Where would you jump to and what quests or missions would
you undertake in each dimension?
