Why "NONE"

My code passes the check yet when I run it through VSC it returns NONE as the values. Tried googling it to understand why this happens but couldn't get a good answer. Any help in understanding this would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

iterating_ranges.py 
my_list = []

for i in range(10):
    print(my_list.append(i))

Hi there, Timothy Maycock! The code challenge itself doesn't ask you to print anything. What you're doing here, is printing the result of the .append method. That method adds an item to a list, but it has a return type of None.

But if you modified what and where you are printing, then your results would be wildly different.

Try this:

my_list = []

for i in range(10):
    my_list.append(i)

print(my_list)

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

Hi Jennifer

Ok. With your explanation and code snippet I see where I went wrong. Happy I asked as when I clicked the check work button, it gave me a passing result, even though my code was the wrong solution.

Thanks for clarifying it for me

Cheers
