Implementing C/C Style Loops in Python: The 'for' Loop

In Python, loops offer a versatile mechanism for iterating over sequences. While Python's 'for' loop syntax differs from its C/C counterpart, achieving similar functionality remains feasible.

Consider the following loop in C/C :

for(int k = 1; k 
To replicate this in Python, one might initially use:
for k in range(1, c):
However, this is equivalent to the C/C   loop:
for(int k = 1; k 
To match the initial C/C   loop exactly, the Python version requires an additional adjustment to include the endpoint:
for k in range(1, c   1, 2):
This loop structure increments 'k' by 2 at each iteration, ensuring that it iterates over odd numbers in the range [1, c].
