The main difference is that the arange
function is a built function in the python class that helps generate a sequence of integer values within a certain range. However, the arange
function is a built-in function in the python library called Numpy, and so to use the arange function, you will have to install the NumPy package. Both range
and arange
functions take the same parameters shown below. (start, stop, and step). The main difference is that the range function takes only integers arguments. Otherwise, it returns an error message while the arange function will generate or return an instance of the NumPy ndarray.
* range([start], stop[, step])
* numpy.arange([start, ]stop, [step, ]dtype=None)
