How to iterate through a list using index

April 5, 2022

I am making a function that counts from 0 to a certain number input I tried to make it using print and that worked but the output needs to be a return value so I tried making a list then iterating through it using a for loop and returning each value of the list back using the index of the list but that didn’t work it only returns the last value of the list I also want the returned value to be a string, not a list.

this is my code

nums = []
def numbers_range(number):
  for i in range(number+1):
    numz = nums.append(i)
  for g in range(len(nums)):
   numb = nums[g]
  return numb

print(numbers_range(5))

result 5
the result i want 0 1 2 3 4 5
please help

>Solution :

one solution is

def numbers_range(number):
  for i in range(number+1):
    yield i;


result = numbers_range(5)
for i in result:
    print(i,end=" ")

another solution is

def numbers_range(number):
    ans = []
    for i in range(number+1):
        ans.append(i)
    return ans
    


result = numbers_range(5)
for i in result:
    print(i,end=" ")
