How do you write the range of a to z in python?

1. Print a-n: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n

2. Every second in a-n: a c e g i k m

3. Append a-n to index of urls{hello.com/, hej.com/, ..., hallo.com/}: hello.com/a hej.com/b ... hallo.com/n

>>> import string
>>> string.ascii_lowercase[:14]
'abcdefghijklmn'
>>> string.ascii_lowercase[:14:2]
'acegikm'

To do the urls, you could use something like this

[i + j for i, j in zip[list_of_urls, string.ascii_lowercase[:14]]]

Assuming this is a homework ;-] - no need to summon libraries etc - it probably expect you to use range[] with chr/ord, like so:

for i in range[ord['a'], ord['n']+1]:
    print chr[i],

For the rest, just play a bit more with the range[]

Hints:

import string
print string.ascii_lowercase

and

for i in xrange[0, 10, 2]:
    print i

and

"hello{0}, world!".format['z']

Get a list with the desired values

small_letters = map[chr, range[ord['a'], ord['z']+1]]
big_letters = map[chr, range[ord['A'], ord['Z']+1]]
digits = map[chr, range[ord['0'], ord['9']+1]]

import string
string.letters
string.uppercase
string.digits

This solution uses the ASCII table. ord gets the ascii value from a character and chr vice versa.

Apply what you know about lists

>>> small_letters = map[chr, range[ord['a'], ord['z']+1]]

>>> an = small_letters[0:[ord['n']-ord['a']+1]]
>>> print[" ".join[an]]
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n

>>> print[" ".join[small_letters[0::2]]]
a c e g i k m o q s u w y

>>> s = small_letters[0:[ord['n']-ord['a']+1]:2]
>>> print[" ".join[s]]
a c e g i k m

>>> urls = ["hello.com/", "hej.com/", "hallo.com/"]
>>> print[[x + y for x, y in zip[urls, an]]]
['hello.com/a', 'hej.com/b', 'hallo.com/c']

The answer to this question is simple, just make a list called ABC like so:

ABC = ['abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz']

And whenever you need to refer to it, just do:

print ABC[0:9] #prints abcdefghij
print ABC       #prints abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
for x in range[0,25]:
    if x % 2 == 0:
        print ABC[x] #prints acegikmoqsuwy [all odd numbered letters]

Also try this to break ur device :D

##Try this and call it AlphabetSoup.py:

ABC = ['abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz']


try:
    while True:
        for a in ABC:
            for b in ABC:
                for c in ABC:
                    for d in ABC:
                        for e in ABC:
                            for f in ABC:
                                print a, b, c, d, e, f, '    ',
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    pass

Try:

    strng = strng + chr[i]
print[strng]

This is your 2nd question: string.lowercase[ord['a']-97:ord['n']-97:2] because 97==ord['a'] -- if you want to learn a bit you should figure out the rest yourself ;-]

About gnibbler's answer.

Zip -function, full explanation, returns a list of tuples, where the i-th tuple contains the i-th element from each of the argument sequences or iterables. [...] construct is called list comprehension, very cool feature!

Another way to do it

import string

aalist = list[string.ascii_lowercase]
aaurls = ['alpha.com','bravo.com','chrly.com','delta.com',]
iilen  =  aaurls.__len__[]

ans01 = "".join[ [aalist[0:14]] ]
ans02 = "".join[ [aalist[0:14:2]] ]
ans03 = "".join[ "{vurl}/{vl}\n".format[vl=vlet,vurl=aaurls[vind % iilen]] for vind,vlet in enumerate[aalist[0:14]] ]

print[ans01]
print[ans02]
print[ans03]

Result

abcdefghijklmn
acegikm
alpha.com/a
bravo.com/b
chrly.com/c
delta.com/d
alpha.com/e
bravo.com/f
chrly.com/g
delta.com/h
alpha.com/i
bravo.com/j
chrly.com/k
delta.com/l
alpha.com/m
bravo.com/n

How this differs from the other replies

iterate over an arbitrary number of base urls
cycle through the urls using modular arithmetic, and do not stop until we run out of letters
use enumerate in conjunction with list comprehension and str.format

How do you find the range of a list in Python?

Artturi Jalli. In Python, you can use the built-in range[] function to generate a range of numbers from the starting point until the end point. The last number in the range[] call is 6, which means the last number included in the range is actually 5.

How do you print a range of numbers in Python?

Given start and end of a range, write a Python program to print all positive numbers in given range. Example #1: Print all positive numbers from given list using for loop Define start and end limit of range.
