Why it’s not getting into for loop,plz help

Question

s="malayalam"
for i in range(len(s)-1,0):
print(i)

Answer 1

You missed the "step" argument in range. By default it is 1. So you need range(len(s)-1, 0, -1)

Answer 2

range goes [start; stop)
The stop is not included 8n the sequence. To get 0, you would need to write:
range(len(s) - 1, -1, -1)

Answer 3

You cannot do like in Java because in python there is no semicolon so doing like this:

for i = 0 i < 10 will give syntax error

Answer 4

Thank you Lisa u made my day new to python ,even small things are getting complex Thanks again

Answer 5

Lisa why
for i in range(len(s)-1,0,-1)
Why does the loop doesnt consider zero it stops at 1

In Java
for(int i=8;i>=0;i—) here it goes till 0 no issues why not in python

Answer 6

Other than using range can u please suggest a for loop in python as simple as in Java like this
for(int i=0;i<=10;i++)

Without using that range function and all
