Decreasing for loops in Python impossible

Question

I could be wrong  just let me know and I ll delete the question  but it seems python won t respond to  for n in range 6 0       print n   I tried using xrange and it didn t work either  How can I implement that

User · Answer

for n in range 6 0 -1    This would give you 6 5 4 3 2 1  As for  for n in reversed range 0 6     would give you 5 4 3 2 1 0

Late to the party  but for anyone tasked with creating their own or wants to see how this would work  here s the function with an added bonus of rearranging the start-stop values based on the desired increment   def RANGE start  stop None  increment 1       if stop is None          stop   start         start   1      value list   sorted  start  stop        if increment    0          print  Error  Please enter nonzero increment value        else          value list   sorted  start  stop           if increment  lt  0              start   value list 1              stop   value list 0              while start  gt   stop                  worker   start                 start    increment                 yield worker         else              start   value list 0              stop   value list 1              while start  lt  stop                  worker   start                 start    increment                 yield worker   Negative increment   for i in RANGE 1  10  -1       print i    Or  with start-stop reversed   for i in RANGE 10  1  -1       print i    Output   10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1   Regular increment   for i in RANGE 1  10       print i    Output   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9   Zero increment   for i in RANGE 1  10  0       print i    Output    Error  Please enter nonzero increment value

For python3 where -1 indicate the value that to be decremented in each step  for n in range 6 0 -1       print n

This is very late  but I just wanted to add that there is a more elegant way  using reversed   for i in reversed range 10        print i   gives   4 3 2 1 0

for n in range 6 0 -1       print n   prints  6  5  4  3  2  1

0 is conditional value when this condition is true  loop will keep executing 10 is the initial value  1 is the modifier where may be simple decrement   for number in reversed range 0 10 1    print number
