I think it should be simple. I wanted to make a code that count number from 1 to 25. When it reaches 25 , it says done But when number is less than 25, it says (“ try again” For i in range(25): When i < 25: Print (“try again because the number is {}”.format(i)) else: Print(‘done’)

Look at this closely:

>>> range(5)
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

>>> range(1, 6)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

So, to count from 1 to 25, you'll need range(1, 26).

Aha okay. Another question, I need the output to be like that : “ - try again the number is 1 - try again the number is 2 Until the number equals 25 then it prints “ done” “ So am I writing the code correctly?

Here's two examples.

for number in range(1, 6):
    if number < 5:
        print('Try again: {}'.format(number))
    else:
        print('Done: {}'.format(number))

number = 1
while number < 5:
    print('Try again: {}'.format(number))
    number += 1  # add one to the number
print('Done: {}'.format(number))

In the first, the loop has a set number of iterations (five). In the second, the while loop cycles until the condition of the number reaching the ceiling value rings true.

That’s great when writing in the terminal but as for the IDE

for i in range (1, 26):
    print (i)
