6. Nested Loops:

print(f"i={i}, j={j}")
Output:
i=0, j=0
i=0, j=1
i=1, j=0
i=1, j=1
i=2, j=0
i=2, j=1
The for loop with the range() function is commonly used in Python to iterate over a sequence of
numbers. Here's a detailed explanation:
Syntax of range()
The range() function generates a sequence of numbers, which is then iterated over by the for
loop. It can take one, two, or three arguments:
1. range(stop)
Generates numbers from 0 up to (but not including) stop.
2. range(start, stop)
Generates numbers from start up to (but not including) stop.
3. range(start, stop, step)
Generates numbers from start to stop, incrementing by step.
Examples
1. Basic Example (range(stop)):
for i in range(5):
print(i)
Explanation:
o Generates numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 (from 0 to stop-1).
o The loop runs 5 times, printing each number.
Output:
0
1
2
3
4
2. Using start and stop (range(start, stop)):
for i in range(2, 6):
print(i)
Explanation:
o Generates numbers: 2, 3, 4, 5 (from start to stop-1).
Output:
2
3
4
5
3. Using step (range(start, stop, step)):
for i in range(0, 10, 2):
print(i)
Explanation:
o Generates numbers: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 (from start to stop-1, incrementing by 2).
Output:
0
2
4
6
8
4. Using Negative step:
for i in range(5, 0, -1):
print(i)
Explanation:
o Generates numbers: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 (from start to stop+1, decrementing by -
1).
Output:
5
4
3
2
1
Key Points
• The range does not include the stop value.
• The step can be positive (incrementing) or negative (decrementing).
• Useful for creating controlled loops without explicitly maintaining a counter variable.
