And so, here it's x, and it's going to output a range instance that holds all the numbers counting by one between zero and the only input. Say x had the value 15, then rangex would output the value, which is a range that holds all the numbers counting by one between zero and 14 because that's 15 numbers counting from zero all the way to 14. And there are other optional parameters that we're going to learn about later. Basically, you can set a starting point for the range and you can also change how much it counts by, so it could count by one, by three, by five, whatever you would like. So here, we'll create a variable called numbered contestants, and it's going to have the value of range 30. Range 30 will return a range instance that includes all the numbers from zero to 29 because zero to 29 would be 30…
