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

start and stop are inclusive rather than one or the other (usually stop is excluded) and without imports, and using generators

def rangef(start, stop, step, fround=5):
    """
    Yields sequence of numbers from start (inclusive) to stop (inclusive)
    by step (increment) with rounding set to n digits.

    :param start: start of sequence
    :param stop: end of sequence
    :param step: int or float increment (e.g. 1 or 0.001)
    :param fround: float rounding, n decimal places
    :return:
    """
    try:
        i = 0
        while stop >= start and step > 0:
            if i==0:
                yield start
            elif start >= stop:
                yield stop
            elif start < stop:
                if start == 0:
                    yield 0
                if start != 0:
                    yield start
            i += 1
            start += step
            start = round(start, fround)
        else:
            pass
    except TypeError as e:
        yield "type-error({})".format(e)
    else:
        pass


# passing
print(list(rangef(-100.0,10.0,1)))
print(list(rangef(-100,0,0.5)))
print(list(rangef(-1,1,0.2)))
