In Python 3<\/a>, the xrange function was removed. If you try to use the xrange function in a Python 3 program, you\u2019ll encounter the NameError: name \u2018xrange\u2019 is not defined<\/code> error.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide, we\u2019re going to discuss what this error means and why you may encounter it. We\u2019ll discuss an example of this error so you can learn how to fix it in your code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Python 2, the xrange function lets you create a range of numbers. Consider the following code snippet:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

print(xrange(0, 3))<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Our code returns [0, 1, 2], which is all the numbers in the range of 0 and 3 (exclusive of 3). The xrange()<\/code> function returns a list of numbers.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Python 3 removed the xrange()<\/code> function in favor of a new function called range()<\/a>. The range()<\/code> function, like xrange()<\/code>, produces a range of numbers.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are two differences between xrange()<\/code> and range()<\/code>;
