Range() in python 2.7 v. 3

Question

Just wondering how to get the same functionality out of range() that you get in python 2.7 in version 3?

In python 2.7:

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

In python 3:

>>> range(5)
range(0, 5)

I need to get a list that looks like the one above, but am restricted to using python3 for an assignment...

Thanks so much!

Answer 1

Simply do this:

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

In Python 3, range() returns an iterable of objects, but it's easy to convert it to a list, as shown above.
