Loop Over Range List in Python (3 Examples)

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to loop over a range of numbers in Python using the range() function. We’ll explore different examples to demonstrate this concept.

The table of contents is structured as follows:

Let’s dive into it!

Example 1: Looping Over a Range

The first example involves looping over a range of numbers using a for loop. Here’s how it works:

for num in range(5):
    print(num)
# 0
# 1
# 2
# 3
# 4

In this example, we use the range() function to generate a sequence of numbers from 0 to 4 (5 numbers in total). The for loop iterates over each number in the range, and we print the values of num.

Example 2: Looping Over a Specific Range

The second example demonstrates how to loop over a specific range of numbers using the range() function. Here’s an example:

for num in range(2, 8):
    print(num)
# 2
# 3
# 4
# 5
# 6
# 7

In this example, we specify the start and end values of the range in the range() function. The loop iterates over the numbers from 2 to 7 (excluding 8), and we print each number num.

Example 3: Looping Over a Range with a Step Size

The third example demonstrates how to loop over a range of numbers with a specific step size using the range() function. Here’s an example:

for num in range(1, 10, 2):
    print(num)
# 1
# 3
# 5
# 7
# 9

In this example, we specify the start, end, and step size values in the range() function. The loop iterates over the numbers from 1 to 9 (excluding 10) with a step size of 2, and we print each number num.
