New submission from chen-y0y0 <cyy144881 at icloud.com>:

# I try:
>>> range(0,5,0.5)
# I hope it will (0.0,0.5,1.0,1.5,2.0,2.5,3.0,3.5,4.0,4.5). But...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
    range(0,5,0.5)
TypeError: 'float' object cannot be interpreted as an integer
