Problem Definition

Create a Python program to print numbers from 1 to 10 using a for loop.

Understanding the For Loop

In Python, the for loop is used to iterate over a sequence of elements, executing a set of statements for each item in the sequence. The loop continues until all items in the sequence have been processed. It is widely used to perform repetitive tasks efficiently.

Solution

In programming, Loops are used to repeat a block of code until a specific condition is met. A for loop is a repetition control structure that allows you to efficiently write a loop that needs to execute a specific number of times.

Also, we are going to use one of Python’s built-in function range(). This function is extensively used in loops to control the number of times the loop has to run. In simple words range is used to generate a sequence between the given values.

For a better understanding of these Python, concepts it is recommended to read the following articles.

Program

for i in range(1, 11):
    print(i)

Output

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

Explanation

The for loop prints the number from 1 to 10 using the range() function here i is a temporary variable that is iterating over numbers from 1 to 10.

The for loop is used to iterate through the range of numbers from 1 to 10 (inclusive). The range() function generates a sequence of numbers, starting from the first argument (1) up to, but not including, the second argument (11), similar to list indexing in range starts from 0 which means range( j )will print sequence till ( j-1) hence the output doesn’t include 11.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully created a Python program that uses a for loop to print numbers from 1 to 10. The for loop is a powerful construct that allows you to efficiently iterate through sequences of elements in Python.

This program serves as a foundation for understanding loops and their utility in Python.

You can further enhance the program by adding additional logic or modifying the range to print numbers within different intervals.

Keep practicing, and you will soon become proficient in Python programming.
