Introduction:

• A range object in Python has three main attributes or properties:
  • start
  • stop
  • step

Examples:

1. Print the properties of a range defined with start and stop:

   • In this program, we define a range with specific start and stop values. Then we read the three properties and print them to the standard output.

     python

     myrange = range(0, 5)
     
     start = myrange.start
     stop = myrange.stop
     step = myrange.step
     
     print('Start :', start)
     print('Stop :', stop)
     print('Step :', step)
     

   • Output:

     Start : 0
     Stop  : 5
     Step  : 1

   • The step value is 1 because if we do not mention a step value when defining a range object, the default step value is 1.
2. Print the properties of a range defined with start, stop, and step:

   • In this program, we define a range with specific start, stop, and step values. Then we read the three properties and print them to the standard output.

     python

     myrange = range(0, 20, 3)
     
     start = myrange.start
     stop = myrange.stop
     step = myrange.step
     
     print('Start :', start)
     print('Stop :', stop)
     print('Step :', step)
     

   • Output:

     Start : 0
     Stop  : 20
     Step  : 3

Summary:

• In this tutorial, we learned how to read the properties/attributes of a range object in Python. Practice using the range() function to create sequences of numbers and understand how to define ranges with different start, stop, and step values.
