'''Write a function called string_range that takes a single number and
returns a string of its range. The string characters should be
separated by dots(.) For example, if you pass 6 as an argument,
your function should return ‘0.1.2.3.4.5’.'''

    return _string[0:len(_string)-1] # to remove the last "." from our return value :)
