Question

I'm new here, and I need to know how to generate a list of numbers from 1 to 9999 for example, when using "for x in range(1,9999)" its not working at all

Answer 1

I have tried:
for x in range(1,9999):
print x
and it's working.
Do you get some kind of error message?

Answer 2

the range function will generate a Python list. how are you trying to use it?

Answer 3

I'm not sure dr_road12, `for x in range(1, 9999)` should work fine, in fact, `for x in range(n)` is a very common way to knock up an iterator in Python. Are you sure you're not forgetting the colon? Every header ends in a colon...

for x in range(1, 9999):
print x

Answer 4

I agree with carlsmith, you probably forgot the colon. I've done it a hundred times and it's frustrating scouring your code to find you forgot a simple colon.

Answer 5

if using python use the .randit function. same function you would use for a numbers guessing game
