range() and xrange() functions in PYTHON:

1 range() – This returns a list of numbers created using range() function.


2 xrange() – This function returns the generator object that can be used to display
numbers only by looping.

Main Difference between range and xrange:


1. range() always returns list output for any version
2. xrange() always returns genarator xrange object (Deprecated)
3. range() takes More Memory, xrange() takes Less Memory
4. range() for list operations, xrange() is not for list
5. range() faster, xrange() slower
6. xrange() renamed as range() in Python-3.0
7. Python-2.0 range() function deprecated from PYHTON-3.0
8. in Python-2 <type xrange>, in Python-3 <class range>

Range Function
It generates lists containing arithmetic progression. It returns a list of
consecutive integers. The function has one, two or three parameters where last two
parameters are optional. It is widely used in for loops.

3 variations of range() function:


range(stop) - Starts from O till (stop - 1)
range(start,stop) - Ends at (stop - 1)
range(start,stop,step) - Step can not be 0, default is 1

Syntax:
range(a) range(a,b) range(a,b,c)

NOTE:
"For Each" Loops in Python with enumerate() and range()

range(a) : Generates a sequence of numbers from 0 to a, excluding a, incrementing


by 1.

Syntax
for <variable> in range(<number>):

Example:
list(range(5))

Example:
for a in range(4):
print(a)

Example:
MyItems=[1,2,3,4]
for i in range(len(MyItems)):
print(MyItems[i])

Example:
MyData=int(input("Enter Any Number in Range: "))
for data in range(MyData):
print(data)

Example:
print(range(10))#range(0, 10)
print(list(range(10)))#[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
print(tuple(range(10)))#(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
print(set(range(10)))#{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
print(frozenset(range(10)))#frozenset({0, 1, 2, 3, 4,5, 6, 7, 8, 9})

range(a,b) : Generates a sequence of numbers from a to b excluding b, incrementing


by 1.

Syntax
for "variable" in range("start_number", "end_number"):

Note: Start Value must be less than end Value..!!

Example:
range(5,10)

Example:
for a in range(2,7):
print(a)

Example:
snumber=int(input("Enter Any Start Number: "))
enumber=int(input("Enter Any End Number: "))
for data in range(snumber,enumber):
print(data)

range(a,b,c) : Generates a sequence of numbers from a to b excluding b,


incrementing by c.

Syntax
for "variable" in range("start_number", "end_number",increment):

Note:
Start Value must be less than end value, If it is increment..!!
Start Value must be bigger than end value, If it is decrement...!!

Example:
range(0,10,2)

Example:
for a in range(2,19,5):
print(a)

Example:
snumber=int(input("Enter Any Start Number: "))
enumber=int(input("Enter Any End Number: "))
incre=int(input("Enter Any increment Number: "))
for data in range(snumber,enumber,incre):
print(data)

Example: Multiplication Table


n=int(input("Enter Any Number: "))
for num in range(1, 11):
print(n, "X", num, "=", n * num)

for loop with else clause


A for loop can have an optional else block as well. The else part is executed if
the items in the sequence used in for loop exhausts. break statement can be used to
stop a for loop. In such case, the else part is ignored.

Syntax-2:
for <variable> in <sequence>:
<statements>
<statements>
else:
<statements>
<statements>

Example:
digits = [0, 1, 5, 7]
for i in digits:
print(i)
else:
print("No items left.")

Example:
for i in range(5):
print(i)
else:
print('Iterated over everything :)')

LOOPING CONTROL STATEMENTS/ TRANSFER STATEMENTS


A statement that alters the execution of a loop from its designated sequence is a
loop control statement.

break
To break out from a loop, you can use the keyword "break".

Syntax
for variable_name in sequence :
statement_1
statement_2
......
if expression:
break

Example:
digi = [0, 1, 5, 7]
for data in digi:
if data==4:
break
print(data)
else:
print("Loop Success")

Example:
for i in range(5):
if i==2:
break
print(i)
else:
print('Iterated over everything :)')

NOTE:
if we stop the loop, say with a break statement, then the else suite will not be
executed

Example:
for x in "PYTHON":
if(x=='O'):
break
print(x)
else:
print("Loop Completed")
