Question

What will the following code display?
for number in range(0, 501, 100):
print(number)

Answer 1

The code will print the numbers 0, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 sequentially as the range function generates numbers starting at 0 up to but not including 501, with an increment of 100 per step.

Step-by-step explanation:

The code provided uses a for loop to iterate over a range of numbers. Specifically, the range function generates a sequence of numbers from 0 to 501, stepping by 100 at each iteration. The print function outputs each number in this sequence to the screen. The numbers that would be displayed by this code are:

• 0
• 100
• 200
• 300
• 400
• 500

The loop starts at 0 and stops at 500, including it, because the stop value in the range function is exclusive, and 501 is the next number after 500.
