It's 3 because your asking for a list with a range from 5-8. Remember that with a list [0] is really the first thing in the list. Try printing 'nums' and you will see the list: [5, 6, 7] Your brain wants to think that it's 6, 7, 8 though. Either way, the length between 5 and 8 is three numbers.

in range(a, b) b is not counted by python soin range(5, 8) elements will be 5, 6, 7 so len is 3

yup. when it's range (1, 5) it will not count the top number, or 5 in this case.
