Why myList = [range(1,10)] does not return a list in python? -

this question has answer here:

i tried this:

mylist = [range(1,10)]  print(mylist)

and got output:

range(1, 10)

why did not returned list [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]?

you running example in python3, range function returns iterable. therefore, have pass generator list function force expression give full list:

l = list(range(10))

output:

[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

with generator, can iterate on so:

 in function_that_yields_generator():        #do

you can use function next() elements generator. since range function iterable not iterator, can use this:

l = range(10) new_l = iter(l) >>next(new_l) 0 >>next(new_l) 1 >>next(new_l) 2

etc.

for iterator, can this:

>>s = function_that_yields_generator() >>next(s) #someval1 >>next(s) #someval2
