Challenge: Countdown

Explore how to write Python code that uses for loops and the range function to count down from five to one. Understand how to execute repetitive code with loops and print output before and after the loop, gaining foundational skills in control flow and automation.

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:

  1. Use a for loop to count down from 5 to 1

  2. Print each number as it counts down

  3. 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!".
