for x to y step from basic in Python

[jefsummers]

first_value = 3940
second_value = 5630
last_in_loop = 200
start = 5
build_string = ""

while True:
    for count in range(start, last_in_loop, start) :
        build_string = build_string + 's' + str(first_value)
        first_value += start

    if first_value < second_value + start :
        build_string = ""
    else :
        break

Note that variables named a, b, x, etc are frowned upon as being nondescriptive. Much of the code is similar to Basic, the for loop is an exception, and a big one is that there is no "goto", true of most modern languages (hence the use of the

while

, which you exit with

break

.
