    if i==5:
        i+=3
    print i

I expected the output to be:

Answer 1

In python 2.7 range function create a list while in python 3.x versions it creates a 'range' class object which is only iterable not a list, similar to xrange in python 2.7.

Not when you are iterating over range(1, 10), eventually you are reading from the list type object and i takes new value each time it reaches for loop.

this is something like:

for i in [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]:
    if i==5:
        i+=3
    print(i)

Changing the value wont change the iteration order from the list.
