            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].

               range(start, stop, step_size): By default, the value of the step_size = 1 and numbers generated
               with a difference of 1. However, we can generate numbers by specifying the value of step_size
               according to our requirement.

               Example: range(1, 14, 2) is equivalent to [1, 3, 5, 7, 9,11,13].
            Program: To print your name nine times using for loop with range( ) function.
