@FrankTudor not quite, it's only half-open - the lower bound is included, so range(1, 50) would give 1-49 inclusive. See e.g. here for why. Rather than writing stuff without knowing why, work through a tutorial to get a more structured introduction - docs.python.org/3/tutorial/controlflow.html#the-range-function.

| Nov 1, 2014 at 23:10 | comment | added | Frank Tudor | @jonsharpe Ahhhh! Now this will happens even if I am explicit and say 1-50 (because I want 1-50) Python will do 0-49 unless I clip on that +1, is this assumption correct? | |

@FrankTudor why are you doing it if you don't know what it means?! +1 is necessary because range is "half-open", i.e. excludes the final argument (e.g. range(10) gives 0, 1, ..., 8, 9 but not 10).

@jonsharpe Question: In my code there is something I am doing but I don't know what it means. Simplified example random.sample(range(1,50+1),5) That +1 (what does that mean?)
