What is the different between range () and xrange () functions in Python?

Best answer

Both range() and xrange() are built-in functions in Python that are used to generate integers or whole numbers in a given range . The python range() and xrange() comparison is relevant only if you are using both Python 2.x and Python 3 . It is because the range() function in python 3.x is just a re-implementation of the xrange() of python 2.x. It actually works the same way as the xrange does.

 

Deprecation of xrange()

 

In Python 3.x, the xrange() function does not exist anymore. The range() function now does what xrange() does in Python 2.x, so to keep your code portable, you might want to stick to using range() instead. Of course, you could always use the 2to3 tool that Python provides in order to convert your code, but that introduces more complexity.
