Comparing solutions
As we look at problems, I've mentioned that we have multiple ways of doing the same things in Python. Depending on what we are trying to accomplish, some commands may be better than others in our algorithms. Let's start by taking a look at a couple of solutions for one problem.
Problem 1 - Printing even numbers
You've been asked to write an algorithm that prints even numbers based on a range that the user provides. That is, if the user enters the range 2 through 20, then the program would print 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20. Let's assume we want to include the endpoints if they are even.
Let's take a look at the first of two possible solutions. Remember, one solution may not be better than the other. A lot will depend on what the goal for your full algorithm is. Is a list more appropriate? A dictionary? A function? Those questions are important when we design solutions.
