Pythonic way to iterate through a range starting at 1

Question

Currently if I want to iterate 1 through n I would likely use the following method:

for _ in rang         


        

Answer 1

range(1, n+1) is common way to do it, but if you don't like it, you can create your function:

def numbers(first_number, last_number, step=1):
    return range(first_number, last_number+1, step)

for _ in numbers(1, 5):
    print(_)
