What is i in range

Question

I don't know but would like to

Answer 1

i is just a variable.

range is an object that delivers a range of numbers, for example range(10) -> 0123456789.

for i in range(10)

now just means:

with i=0 # code here
with i=1...
with i=2...
with i=3...
...

up to the end of the range.

Answer 2

any variable name will do. It doesn't have to be i
