How to use “for” loop and “range” function in python ?

In this post, we will look how to use for loop in python and usage of range function.

FOR loop and range function usage

user@ngelinux$ cat loop.py 
#!/usr/bin/python
numbers=[1,2,3,4,5]
for a in numbers:
    print(a)

for b in range(6,11):
  print(b)

Output

Lets have a look at the output of above command.

user@ngelinux$ ./loop.py
