Step by Step

The portal opens to a long, winding staircase floating in the void. Hoppy needs to climb it.

Loops don't just repeat blindly. They know where they are. They keep count.

The Counter

In for i in range(5):, the variable i is a loop variable. It changes every time the loop runs.

for i in range(3):
  print("Now i is:")
  print(i)

This will print 0, then 1, then 2.

Your Mission

The Climb

Write a for loop that runs 5 times using range(5).

Count Steps

Inside the loop, print the variable i.

Label It

Also print the text "Step" inside the loop (either before i or on the same line).

Starting from Zero

Programmers count from 0! The first number in range(5) is 0, and the last one is 4.

Suggested Solution

Solution:

Keep climbing:

for i in range(5):
  print("Step", i)

You don't have to name it i. You can call it step, number, or banana. for step in range(5): works exactly the same way, but it's easier to read!
