Hello. First of all i'm compete newbie in the python. And second i was wondering for some time what does the value 'i" do in python or is it a value at all? I'm sorry if i'm pre-posting a question that have been answered already.
This is the example :
def drawBoard(board):
hline = ' '
for i in range(1, 6):
hline += (' ' * 9) + str(i)
print(hline)
print(' ' + ('0123456789' * 6))
print()
That's in every tutorial so you're not going to get many responses. Take a look at "Variables" here http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/thinkCSpy/html/chap02.html And learn to print things.
print range(1, 6)
for x in range(1, 6):
print xThank you, and sorry for the stupid question i gues.
Sometimes you have to ask 'stupid' questions to get smarter!
We are glad to help.
In your case i is simply the name of a variable that holds the value as you iterate over a given range of numbers. You can use any allowed variable name, I usually use k since it is more visible to my old eyes.
# range(5) will iterate from 0 to 4 (excludes 5)
for k in range(5):
print(k)
"""my result -->
0
1
2
3
4
