What can range really do?

 

What can range really do?


  • starting value: what number do you want to start with?

  • ending value: the number after the number you want to end with (example: if you type 10 as the ending value, the computer will count until 9)

  • increment: How much should it increase by every time it loops? (example: Do you want to count by 1s, 5s, 10s?)

 
EXAMPLE : 

for i in range(1, 8):
  print("Day", i)  


Increments


We know that this range will start at 0 and continue to 999,999 (which is the number right before the ending value written). The number will increase in increments of 25 each time. 

EXAMPLE :
 
for i in range (0, 1000000, 25):
  print(i)


Counting Backward


In this example, we are starting at 10 and counting backward to 0 (because 0 is what comes right before the ending value listed), and counting backward 1 each time.

EXAMPLE :

for i in range(10, -1, -1):
  print(i)

IF AND ELSE STATEMENT

  If Statements    These statements are a bit like asking a question. You are telling the computer:  if  something is true,  then  do this specific block of code. Double equals ( == ) is asking the computer to compare if these two things are  exactly  the same.  EXAMPLE :  myName = input("What's your name?: ") if myName == "David":  What is else? IF  the condition is  not  met with the  if  statement, then we want the computer to do the  else  part instead. Likewise, if the condition  is  met in the  if  statement, then the  else  bit is ignored by the computer. The  else  statement must be the first thing  unindented  after the  if  statement and in line with it    EXAMPLE :  myName = input("What's your name?: ") if myName == "David":  print("Welcome Dude!")  print("You're just the baldest dude I've ever seen...

FOR LOOP , RANGE

  FOR LOOP  A  while  loop is perfect to use when we  don't  know how many times we want the loop to repeat.  If we have an idea of how many times we want the loop to repeat, we can use a  for  loop to loop code in exactly the same way the  while  loop did.  EXAMPLE :  for counter in range(10):   print(counter) RANGE  The  range  function creates a list of numbers in the range you create. If you only give it one number, it will start at  0  and move to a state where the final number is  one less  than the number in the brackets. In this case, the final number would be  9 .  EXAMPLE :  total = 0 for number in range(100) :   total += number   print(total)

Parameters , Call the Subroutine , Adding More Arguments

  Parameters In a subroutine, the  ()  are for the argument (FYI argument is another word for parameter). These are the pieces of information we pass to the code. These can be variable names that are made up for the first time within the argument  () . EXAMPLE : def whichCake(ingredient):   if ingredient == "chocolate":     print("Mmm, chocolate cake is amazing")   elif ingredient == "broccoli":     print("You what mate?!")   else:      print("Yeah, that's great I suppose...") How do we call the subroutine? We call it in the same way as before. However, instead of leaving the  ()  blank, we send the code a message.   EXAMPLE : def whichCake("chocolate"):   if ingredient == "chocolate":     print("Mmm, chocolate cake is amazing")   elif ingredient == "broccoli":     print("You what mate?!")   else:      print("Yeah, that's great I suppose...")  Addin...
