[Solved] How to write a for loop in python [closed]

Question

The terminating condition a + b <= i is equivalent to b <= i - a which in turn (as Python for uses less than not less than or equal) would be b < i - a + 1.

That means in Python you could write:

for b in range((i - a) / 2, i - a + 1):
    ...

But very often you don’t want to write like for like when converting from C/C++ to Python. You may be better to restructure the code entirely.
