Trying range. isn't working

Question

print(list(range(5,20,-2)))

Answer 1

Joel Sebastian Jijo

Range means numbers between two values. So here 5 is min value and 20 is max value so range will return list of numbers between these two values.

Here 2 means list will be like 5, 7, 9, 11 but here is minus sign (-) so this range (5, 20, -2) will return empty list

So if you want in reverse order then do this print(list(range(20, 5, -2)))

Now here 20 will be considered as max value and 5 will be considered as min value so you will get list in reverse order.

Answer 2

range function takes variable number of arguments.

When you pass one single argument, it is
range(end)

The start is default as 0 and the step is default as 1

When you passes two arguments, it is
range(start, end)

The step is default as 1.

When you passes three arguments, it i
range(start, end, step)

Answer 3

Try
range(20,5,-2) or
range(5,20,2)

Answer 4

From 20 to 5

Use range(20,4,-1)

Answer 5

I want to get the numbers backward.

Answer 6

Maybe it's my phone. all attempts to do backwards result in [ ].
