@ -345,6 +352,15 @@ You can get a range of numbers using `range()`
|
|||
|
||||
It will give you all numbers under the number you input. For example, `range(8)` would give you 0-7, `range(1, 8)` would give you 1-7, and `range(1, 8, 2)` would give you 1,3,5,7 (2 is the interval and needs no padding) Use `print(list(var))` when printing.
|
||||
|
||||
### Ranges and list manipulation
|
||||
|

You can combine `range()` with list manipulation like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|

for index in range(1, len(lst), 2):
|
||||
new_list.append(lst[index])

```

## length

||||
|
||||
Grab length with `len(list)`
