Analyze the single-argument range function

The single-argument form \( \text{range}(n) \) generates integers from \( 0 \) up to (but not including) \( n \).

• If \( n = 3 \), it generates \( 0, 1, 2 \) (exactly 3 numbers).
• If \( n = 4 \), it generates \( 0, 1, 2, 3 \) (exactly 4 numbers).

Thus, 3 is a correct option.

Analyze the two-argument range function

The two-argument form \( \text{range}(\text{start}, \text{stop}) \) generates integers from \( \text{start} \) up to (but not including) \( \text{stop} \).

• For 3, 6: it generates \( 3, 4, 5 \) (exactly 3 numbers).
• For 3, 7: it generates \( 3, 4, 5, 6 \) (exactly 4 numbers).

Thus, 3, 6 is a correct option.

Analyze the three-argument range function

The three-argument form \( \text{range}(\text{start}, \text{stop}, \text{step}) \) generates integers starting at \( \text{start} \), incrementing by \( \text{step} \), up to (but not including) \( \text{stop} \).

• For 6, 18, 4:
• First value: \( 6 \)
• Second value: \( 6 + 4 = 10 \)
• Third value: \( 10 + 4 = 14 \)
• Next value would be \( 14 + 4 = 18 \), which is equal to the stop value, so it is excluded.
• Generated numbers: \( 6, 10, 14 \) (exactly 3 numbers).
• For 6, 19, 4:
• First value: \( 6 \)
• Second value: \( 10 \)
• Third value: \( 14 \)
• Fourth value: \( 18 \) (since \( 18 < 19 \), it is included).
• Generated numbers: \( 6, 10, 14, 18 \) (exactly 4 numbers).

Thus, 6, 18, 4 is a correct option.

Select the three correct options

The three options that complete the code to print exactly three numbers are:

1. 3
2. 6, 18, 4
3. 3, 6
