initialize_list_with_range	list,beginner

Initializes a list containing the numbers in the specified range where start and end are inclusive with their common difference step.

Use list and range() to generate a list of the appropriate length, filled with the desired values in the given range. Omit start to use the default value of 0. Omit step to use the default value of 1.

def initialize_list_with_range(end, start = 0, step = 1):
  return list(range(start, end + 1, step))

initialize_list_with_range(5) # [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
initialize_list_with_range(7,3) # [3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
initialize_list_with_range(9,0,2) # [0, 2, 4, 6, 8]
