The use of range/xrange is confusing

[SylvainDe]

Not sure if it really matters but it might fit huge numbers : both range and xrange are used making things a bit confusing.
Is there any particular reason for this?

Unlikely!

(It's also unlikely it makes a huge difference, but things would be better if they were consistent.)

(I will check if it makes a difference though!)

I found this in 2023 and the use of xrange seemed archaic. I thought that you were just trying to emphasize the point that it isn't creating a list and then iterating over it (as Python 2 range did).
