Others have already given you the answer, but more important is for you
to learn *how* to get the answer.
Look at the error message Python prints:
for i in the range(10):
File "<stdin>", line 1
for i in the range(10):
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
You get a SyntaxError, which tells you that what you've written makes no
sense to the Python compiler. It also tells you that the error has
nothing to do with either of the print lines.
Unfortunately Python isn't smart enough to recognise that the problem is with "the"
rather than "range(10)"
To be more specific - Python is "happy" with "for i in the ". It is
"expecting"either : or some operator. "range" is neither - so that is
where the error pointer is.
Example:
the = [1,2,3]
for i in the:
print(i)
for i in the + [4]:
print(i)
