[Tutor] Loop over floating point values

Hi,

You could simply write your own version of xrange that does it, as a
generator:

  def xrange_f(start, stop, step):
      x = start
      while x < stop:
          yield x
          x += step

Then, in your code, you can do:

  for f in xrange_f(0, 10, 0.01):
      pass
