+ This is a versatile function to create iterables yielding arithmetic
progressions. It is most often used in :keyword:`for` loops. The arguments
must be integers. If the *step* argument is omitted, it defaults to ``1``.
If the *start* argument is omitted, it defaults to ``0``. The full form

+ returns an iterable of integers ``[start, start + step, start + 2 * step,
...]``. If *step* is positive, the last element is the largest ``start + i *
step`` less than *stop*; if *step* is negative, the last element is the
smallest ``start + i * step`` greater than *stop*. *step* must not be zero
