+
+** Take a look at how you used range . Look up the range function to understand it.
+
+tldr, a "function" that generates a sequence of numbers:
+
+
+ class range(start, stop[, step]):
+start
+
+    The value of the start parameter (or 0 if the parameter was not supplied)
+
+stop
+
+    The value of the stop parameter
+
+step
+
+    The value of the step parameter (or 1 if the parameter was not supplied)
+
+-------
+
+I found it among python 3.8.3 built-in functions.
+
+but!
+
+Turns out it's not a function after all!
+
+It's an immutable sequence type.
+
+"a range object will always take the same (small) amount of memory" ... "as it only stores the start, stop and step values" and generates numbers on the fly
+
+note: similar in shell is: seq 
+source: https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#range
+
+** Could you have avoided that for-loop entirely on line 22 and just assigned range(0,6) directly to elements?
+Do you mean line 21 book? (typo)
+
+Yes! Because range will generate a list that can be appended added as is.
+** Find the Python documentation on lists and read about them. What other operations can you do to lists besides append?
+
+extend, insert, remove, pop, clear, index, count, sort, reverse, copy
+
+fascinating! programming is cool! you can do so much with it

+** The gold_room has a weird way of getting you to type a number. What are all the bugs in this way of doing it? Can you make it better than what I’ve written? Look at how int() works for clues.
+
+Non greedy is less than 50 but only 1 and 0 qualify. 
+
+Nicer ways:
+-> check for numbers
+-> also check for None and All strings
+-> sanitize input for int(), (int can take 2 variables)
