Challenge: Countdown
Explore how to apply Python for loops with the range function to perform a countdown from 5 to 1. Learn to print numbers in sequence and then output a final message using code inside and outside the loop. This lesson helps you understand loop iteration and sequence control, building confidence in basic Python programming.
We'll cover the following...
A for loop lets you run the same code once for each number in a sequence created by range().
Your task:
Use a
forloop to count down from 5 to 1Print each number as it counts down
After the countdown finishes, print
"Liftoff!"
💡 Things to keep in mind:
Code inside the loop runs multiple times
Code after the loop runs once
range()controls which numbers the loop uses
When you click Run, your output should look like a countdown followed by "Liftoff!".
