[Tutor] Step Value

[Vincent Balmori]

Here is my updated code. As simple as this may be, I am a little lost again.
I appreciate the help and explanations to try to push me to get this on my
own, but at this point (especially after one week) this is when me being
given the answer with an explanation will help me much more, so I can
understand how it works better.

def ask_number(question, low, high, step = 1):
    """Ask for a number within a range."""
    response = None
    while response not in range(low, high, step):
        response = int(input(question))
    return response
