Problem with Python you must have faced !

Question

Sololearn said in the range lesson of Python that "The call to list is necessary because 'range' by itself creates a 'range object', and this must be converted to a list if you want to use it as one."
but when i type like : print(range(4)) ---> it inputs [0,1,2,3]
that indicates that i don't need to call to the list ,but why they claimed that ?

Answer 1

range is not of list type, i.e. you can't treat it like one. You may not add it to another list, you can't assign value to it or any of its elements, etc.

However, as an ordered sequence, it can be called - range(4)[2] equals 2. It can be iterated upon (for i in range(100) and it can be used as a generator: list(range(100))
