n+1 in for loop
Hi, Could you please explain for i in range(1, n+1)
Thank you
Hey Shekhar,
Thanks for reaching out!
The following line of code:
for i in range(1, n+1)
is the start of a for
loop that will iterate over a sequence of numbers generated by the range()
function.
Here's a breakdown:
- The range()
function includes the start value but excludes the end value. Therefore, range(1, n+1)
generates a sequence of numbers starting from 1
and ending at n
. To include n
in the sequence, you'd specify n+1
as the end value.
- for i in ...
iterates over each number in that sequence, and with each iteration, the variable i
will take on the next value in the sequence.
For example, if n=5
, the loop will iterate over the values 1,2,3,4, and 5. In each iteration, you can use the value of i
inside the loop to perform some operation or computation.

Hope this helps.
