Why does this code not print 4?

Question

Here’s my code:

# Message to be displayed
message = "Fasten your seat belt"

# for loop to display the message 3 times
for i in range(3):
print(message)

I think I’m just missing something obvious but the counter in the for loop starts at 0 correct? If so it should be 0,1,2,3 which is 4 times the loop should run?

Sorry for missing something so simple. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can think the range() function like this: Repeat the action x times.

However, if you assign the start and end values, always remember start value is included, but not the stop value.
Example:
for i in range(3, 10):
print(i)
Only 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are printed.
