ive heard this term quite a few times but i dont know what it really means

for i in range (minimem):

doesnt that mean like you look at all the numbers in a series of numbers ?

thank you

Yes, it does. The range command has a syntax like this

Code:

range(min, max, sequence)

In the example you gave, assuming minimem had a value of 5, the for loop would repeat five numbers with i given the value 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4.

A single parameter assumes the max value is given, and starts at 0 with a sequence of 1. You could use the other parameters to change the loop as necessary.

Hope this helps
