How to use a decimal range() step value?

Question

Is there a way to step between 0 and 1 by 0.1?

I thought I could do it like the following, but it failed:

for i in range(0, 1, 0.1):
    print i
         


        

Answer 1

Python's range() can only do integers, not floating point. In your specific case, you can use a list comprehension instead:

[x * 0.1 for x in range(0, 10)]

(Replace the call to range with that expression.)

For the more general case, you may want to write a custom function or generator.
