 <p>I dont get it, it <em>is</em> exactly one python <code>for loop</code> there. What is the question? Do you want the <code>j</code> declaration inside the loop declaration like in c++? Check Prasson'S answer for the closest python equivalent. But why have a j variable in the first place? <code>j=i+3</code> seems to always be true, so why not this?</p> <pre><code>for i in range(100): print i, " j: ", i+3 </code></pre>
