Let's say we wanted to duplicate the code in the example JavaScript above, that prints out the numbers from 0 to 4.

In order to do this, we'll need to use a built-in function called `range()`. The range function in python produces a sequence of integers from an optional and inclusive tart, to a defined and exclusive finish.

In Python2, this function created a list of each number in that sequence. As you can imagine, it was horribly inefficient for large ranges. In Python3, the `range()` function returns a new optimized data type. It's great for optimization, but it's harder for debugging.

You can also pass an a third optional `step` parameter in. Let's say I quickly wanted to print out all the even numbers from 2 to 10. I would call `range(2, 11, 2)`. Remember, 2 is where we're starting, 11 is one higher than where we're ending (10), and 2 is the step, or the amount to jump between numbers.

```python
>>> for num in range(4, 11, 2):
>>> for num in range(2, 11, 2):
... print(f"The number is: {num}")
...
The number is: 2

If you really want to be a pro at looping in a Pythonic way, I recommend watching Raymond Hettinger's talk - [Transforming Code into Beautiful, Idiomatic Python](https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1855&v=OSGv2VnC0go) after the course.
