How does range work

Question

I want to out put a leaderboard style answer to 9 with a full stop after each number.
I tried to use this and just want to check if their is a more efficient way or does this even work:
num = 1
for i in range(1, 9):
print(num + ‘.’\n)
num += 1

Answer 1

You need to change range to one more and edit print like this
print(str(num)+'.\n')

Answer 2

You may as well delete the line num += 1. Each time through the loop, num advances to the next value in the range, overwriting whatever value you might set inside the loop.

Answer 3

So should I just use i in place of num?

Answer 4

I need to correct myself. I was thinking num was the loop index, like this
for num in range(1, 9):

So, yes, you may use the above loop, or use i instead of num in the print statement.
