The for loop in Python

Let us look at the file for_loop.py

for i in range(1,4):print(i)

python for_loop.py

Everything works fine. Note that only i from 1 to 3 was printed. Python did not print 4.

One-line scripts are inconvenient to read. Usually people try to write each action on a separate line.

for i in range(1,3): print(i)

python for_loop.py

If you write the code without at least one space before print

for i in range(1,4): print(i)

then the code will not work. You will get an error

So you need to put a space before print

Example with _

retries=3 retries_ = abs(int(retries)) for _ in range(retries_ + 1): print(_)
