The for Loop and range()

How does a `for` loop hand you each value automatically, and why does `range(n)` stop one short of `n`?

Exercise 1 of 5

Add up a range

The running total total = 0 is given.

Use a for loop to add together every integer from 1 to 10, inclusive, leaving the sum in total. (Hint: range(start, stop) stops before stop, so you will need a stop value one past 10.)

total = 0  # running total
# your code here — use a for loop to add each value into total

total = 0  # running total
# your code here — use a for loop to add each value into total
