Let's leave Python aside for a moment and go back to grade-school arithmeti=
c.

How do you count up to three?
1, 2, 3

How much do you add to a number to get to the next number?

Once you figure out where you're starting, how much you're increasing
at each step, and where you're stopping, you can put those numbers
into your program.
