The range data type is used to represent a sequence of numbers.

It is mainly used in loops to generate a sequence of integers.

1. Represents a sequence of numbers.
2. Immutable.
3. Commonly used in loops.
4. Memory efficient.
5. Supports indexing.

The elements of a range object cannot be modified.

This means the range data type is immutable.

Python provides three forms of the range() function.

This form generates numbers from 0 to stop - 1.

range(10) generates numbers from 0 to 9.

This form generates numbers from start to stop - 1.

range(10, 20) generates numbers from 10 to 19.

This form generates numbers using a step value.

The step value can be positive or negative.

Here, 2 is the increment value.

range(10, 20, 2) starts from 10, increases by 2, and stops before 20.

A range object supports indexing.

We can access elements using positive indexes.

Elements of a range object cannot be modified after creation.

We can convert a range object into a list using the list() function.

The range() function is mainly used with for loops.

Use the len() function to find the number of elements in a range object.

1. Memory efficient.
2. Faster iteration.
3. Useful in loops.
4. Generates numbers dynamically.

List	range
Stores all values in memory.	Generates values dynamically.
Mutable.	Immutable.
Uses more memory.	Uses less memory.
