Count down from to , and then show Go!
Need a reminder? The key ideaShow
A negative step counts down, and the stop value is still not included.
The worked solution
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, compare your working with the solution.
Plan. A countdown needs a negative step: range(5, 0, -1) makes 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. It stops before 0.
The line print("Go!") is not indented, so it runs once, after the loop.
