evens_to_50 = [i for i in range(51) if i % 2 == 0]print evens_to_50This code generates a list of even numbers up to fifty. But as a beginner in programming, I don't understand some points:
- Why does the generation happen inside square brackets, which are usually used for working with indices?
- What does the first i before the for loop do? Why is there no colon after range(51) and no line break with indentation?
- Where else can square brackets be used?
- In square brackets with

You can use range(n) to repeat something n times in Python:
for _ in range(60): do_something() time.sleep(1)Is this the "correct" and "efficient" way? It depends on the specific task.
The code is simple and clear: call the do_something() function 60 times, each subsequent call occurs no earlier than one second after the previous call completes. At the end we wait one second before finishing the loop.
Imagine do_something() takes half a second on average, then the loop will take one and a half minutes or more. Is this good—to hang
