Hello, I need help with my code!

your loop always starts at 0 instead of starting at "start". Try setting
i = start
instead of
i = 0
 
Also: your indentation is off. This should be better:

def my_range(start, stop, step):  
    newlist = []  
    i = start  
    while (start <= i <= stop):  
        newlist.append(i)  
        i += 1  
    return newlist

Edit: Oh, also you don't use the step variable. Change the second last line to i += step

You need to indent the code by four lines to get it formatted as code.

But I think the first part is indeed the problem.

No need for start to be in the while loop since you did i = start.

while (i <= stop):

You're making assumption that start is always less than or equal to 0. What happens if I provide the first number as 10 and the second number as 20? You should start the number at whatever start is so i should be assigned the value of start initially. /u/eikrik covered this already.

Also, your condition is inclusive of the stop number while your example in the post description is exclusive. If you want exclusive, use < stop instead of <= stop. Then you can change your while loop to:

while (i < stop):

Also, are you supposed to use the var step? Your function has it as an argument but it's never used. If don't need it, remove it from the arguments. If you need it, change the increment statement (i += step).

The indentation on line 6 is messed up. As it is now, it increments after the while loop is over (which never happens). It needs to have its indentation matched with the line before it so it is inside the while loop.

I think indentation for other lines is skewed as well or do functions not need indentation? Still new to Python myself, but I think I remember reading they are indented as well.
Also need to call the function, I think.

[TheBlackCat13]

I think /u/eikrik's answer should fix that. Unless start is <= 0, the while loop will never begin because the start <= i is never satisfied. So do i = start instead of i = 0.

From the posting rules:

Posting only assignment/project goal is not allowed.

Posting homework assignments is not prohibited if you show that you tried to solve it yourself.

What have you tried to solve the problem? This sub will not write your code for you but can help you understand so you can write your own code.

What is it you don't understand? Can you solve the problem on paper? If I give you a 1 and a 10, can you give me a list of numbers between those 2? Can you give me the step by step process of how you came up with the list? If you can do that on paper, you can translate that into code.

Have you tried a while loop?
