How to write a range so that one of the values is left open to user input

Question

I would like to write a function for range where you enter a value when you are calling the function.

def randomRange():
    for num in range(0, ())
        print num

I would like the user to call the function like this "randomizeRange()"

And then I would like them to enter an integer to represent the maximum value in the range. I'm trying to get a better understanding of how to use the range function.

Answer 1

You need to prompt the user for input using the input() or raw_input() methods and then convert this to an int()

Python 2:

def randomRange():
    for it in range(int(raw_input("How many loops?: "))):
        print it

Python 3:

def randomRange():
    for it in range(int(input("How many loops?: "))):
        print(it)

Example >input and >>output:

>>How many loops?:
> 2
>> 0
>> 1
