Times table printer in Python.

Print the seven times table with a loop.

The program

Press Run to see what it prints. Change anything you like, then run it again.

table = 7
for i in range(1, 11):
    print(f"{i} x {table} = {i * table}")

1 x 7 = 7
2 x 7 = 14
3 x 7 = 21
4 x 7 = 28
5 x 7 = 35
6 x 7 = 42
7 x 7 = 49
8 x 7 = 56
9 x 7 = 63
10 x 7 = 70

range(1, 11) gives the numbers 1 to 10 (the last number is not included).
for i in range(...) repeats the indented lines once for each number, with i taking each value in turn.
An f-string (a string that starts with f) lets you put values inside curly brackets.
