Skip over a value in the range function in python

Question

What is the pythonic way of looping through a range of numbers and skipping over one value? For example, the range is from 0 to 100 and I would like to skip 50.

Answer 1

It is time inefficient to compare each number, needlessly leading to a linear complexity. Having said that, this approach avoids any inequality checks:

import itertools

m, n = 5, 10
for i in itertools.chain(range(m), range(m + 1, n)):
    print(i)  # skips m = 5

As an aside, you woudn't want to use (*range(m), *range(m + 1, n)) even though it works because it will expand the iterables into a tuple and this is memory inefficient.
