<prompt> Describe the functionality of the Python built-in function range.  <response>: The range function is a built-in function in Python that is used to generate a sequence of numbers in a specified range. It returns an immutable sequence object of type range, which can be iterated or converted into a list, containing the desired sequence of numbers. The range function can take up to three arguments; a start, a stop, and a step value, with the following syntax: rangestart, stop, step- The start argument defines the first number in the sequence default to 0.- The stop argument defines the end of the sequence, where the range will stop before it reaches the stop value it is a mandatory argument, which means the stop value is not included in the sequence.- The step argument defines the increment between each number in the sequence default to 1, it can take negative values also to generate a descending sequence.Here is an example on how to use range function:- To generate a sequence of numbers from 0 to 5 for i in range6: printi Will output: 0 1 2 3 4 5- To generate a sequence of numbers from 2 to 8, with increment of 2: for i in range2, 9, 2: printi Will output: 2 4 6 8
