How to Create a Range Between Two Numbers in Python Using 5 Steps

If you're learning Python, you may have come across a challenge that seems simple but can be quite frustrating: generating a list of numbers between two values in increments of 5. You might have encountered a scenario where you want to start from a specified number (num1), go up to another number (num2), and list all the values in between, including the starting and ending points.

The Problem

Here’s a common example that illustrates the issue. Suppose you have:

num1 = -15

num2 = 10

Your goal is to generate a list that looks like this:

However, after running your code, you end up with an unexpected output:

This discrepancy can be attributed to a misunderstanding of how the range function works in Python.

Understanding the Range Function in Python

Before we dive into solving this problem, it’s important to understand how the range function operates. In Python 3, the range function generates a sequence of numbers, but it does not return them as a list right away. Instead, it returns a range object.

Key Points About range

The range function takes three parameters: start, stop, and step.

The sequence starts from the start value and goes up to but does not include the stop value.

The step value determines the increment between each number in the generated sequence.

Example of range

For instance:

This would create a range object that starts at -15, stops before 10, and increments by 5. However, this would not include 10 itself in the output.

Converting the Range to a List

If you want to see the numbers generated by a range, you need to convert it into a list. You can do this with the following code:

This will output:

Including the Stop Value

To include num2 (which is 10 in our example) in your output, you need to slightly adjust the parameters passed to the range function. Specifically, you should increase the stop value by 1, as the range function does not include the stop value itself.

Updated Code Example

Here’s how to modify your code:

Explanation of the Code

Input Handling: It takes two integers from the user.

Condition Check: It checks if the first integer is less than or equal to the second.

List Generation: It creates a list with steps of 5, including the ig2 by adjusting the stop parameter.

Output: It prints the resulting range as a list, including both bounds.

Conclusion

By understanding how the range function works and how to manipulate its parameters, you can confidently generate a list of numbers between any two values in Python using specified increments. With this knowledge, you’ll be able to tackle similar challenges in the future with ease!

Happy coding!
