You're getting a bit ahead of things here. Later courses will show you ways to do what you describe. But one simple one might look like this:

for x in range(22, -22, -1):        # range can be wider, but this is enough
    if not (abs(x) > 22 or x == 0): # "not" is when the criteria are false
       print(x)

And there's 44 (not just 42) integer values where your criteria are false.
