And the question is?
Python has a for loop and a print function.
It can easily handle numbers up to 1000000.
You probably need to look at the range() function too.

If you are having difficulty with any of those concepts
let us know and ideally show us the code that fails.

Alternatively if you are asking about what we think of
the homework question itself, then I'd say it seems
reasonable for a beginner. The only thing I'd gripe
about is the use of uppercase FOR.  That's because
Python is case sensitive and its for loop is
lowercase so the FOR could confuse some students.
