@Yuktee Gutta 'i' is a temperory variable or placeholder we create inorder to access it within a loop you don't need to declare it actually you are declaring it in for loop itself for i in range(5): print(i) It is not compulsory to give only 'i' you can use anything you want example for nums in range(5): print(nums)

The "I" is a variable that hold the value and iterate our program. It is just a convention i.e. we can use any identifier or any character for the same.
