The range function generates an ordered sequence of numbers within specified boundaries. It can be used in loops to iterate over a sequence of numbers or to create lists.
Think of the range function as a vending machine that dispenses a series of snacks. You can specify the starting and ending point, and it will give you each snack in order until it reaches the end.
List: A list is an ordered collection of items that can be accessed by their index. It can be created using the range function or other methods.
Iteration: Iteration refers to the process of repeating a set of instructions multiple times. The range function is often used for iteration in loops.
Step Size: The step size determines how much the value increases or decreases between each number generated by the range function. It can be specified as an argument.
