Let's break down this Python for loop:
range(start, stop, step) parameters:
-
start = 0 → where the sequence starts
-
stop = -2 → where the sequence stops (but this value is not included)
-
step = -2 → step (going down by 2)
What happens here?
This range(0, -2, -2) generates a sequence starting at 0 and moves backward in steps of -2, stopping before -2.
So it produces:
Because:
-
0 is included ✔️
-
Next value would be -2, but the range excludes the stop value, so it's not included ❌
Output:
Summary:
This loop runs only once, printing 0.
