for loop question

[bruce]

hi..

basic foor/loop question..

i can do:

for a in foo
print a

if i want to do something like
for a, 2, foo
print foo

where go from 2, to foo..

i can't figure out how to accomplish this...

can someone point me to how/where this is demonstrated...

found plenty of google for for/loop.. just not this issue..

thanks

just do:

for a in range(2, foo+1):
print a

range(a, b) gives [a, a+1, a+2, ..., b-2, b-1]

print a

Except that in the OP's example foo was a sequence, not an
integer. I think.

Yes, possibly. But then, what's "from 2 to foo"?

this way it might be

for a in [2] + foo:
print a

[York]

for a in range(2, len(foo)): print a

or maybe you need
for a in range(1, len(foo)): print a
?
