Question

Write a function called printRange() that accepts two integers as arguments and prints the sequence of numbers between the two arguments, surrounded by brackets ([]) and separated by a comma and a space. Print an increasing sequence if the first argument is smaller than the second; otherwise, print a decreasing sequence. If the two numbers are the same, that number should be printed by itself.

Answer 1

Answer:

def printRange(start, stop, steps = 1):

   list1 = []

   if steps > start or stop:

       print("Steps is larger than start and stop value")

       return None

   if int(start) < int(stop):

       while start < stop:

           start = start + int(steps)

           list1.append(start)

       print(list1)

   elif start > stop:

       while start > stop:

           stop = stop + int(steps)

           list1.append(stop)

       print(list1)

   elif start == stop:

       print(start)

   else:

       print("Values are not integers.")
