What does the third argument in range do ? I'm confused

Question

Third argument in range

Answer 1

You can simply think it like:
start, stop, step = 0, 11, 2
index = start
while index != stop:
print(index)
index += step

>>> help(range)
Help on class range in module builtins:

class range(object)
| range(stop) -> range object
| range(start, stop[, step]) -> range object
|
| Return an object that produces a sequence of integers from start (inclusive)
| to stop (exclusive) by step. range(i, j) produces i, i+1, i+2, ..., j-1.
| start defaults to 0, and stop is omitted! range(4) produces 0, 1, 2, 3.
| These are exactly the valid indices for a list of 4 elements.
| When step is given, it specifies the increment (or decrement).

Answer 2

integer value which determines the increment between each integer in the sequence
