[Tutor] Loopy question

[Mike Yuen]

This is a real newbie question.
I got a question about a step in a loop.  I want to make my step really
small for a problem i'm testing.  However, the interpreter says my step in
the for loop (0.01) is a zero step for range.

Now, I tried to make a variable a real and assign it a 0.01 value but it
didn't seem to work either.
Here's the exact error I get (hopefully you can provide a bit of insight):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "2.py", line 6, in ?
    for x in range(2, 5, 0.01):
ValueError: zero step for range()


for x in range(2, 5, 0.01):
        for loop in range (1, 7, 2):
                result =  ((x-1)**loop) / (loop*((x+1)**loop))
                sum = result + sum
        answer = 2 * sum
        print "X: ", x, " ", "Answer: ", answer
        sum = 0

Thanks,
Mike
