# Replace `range()` if $n < 4$
If you're using a `for` loop, you're probably using `range()` for the list count. You can actually replace it if the number inside `range()` is less than 4. Why? Examine the lengths on the code:
```
0,1
0,1,2
0,1,2,3
0,1,2,3,4
range(n)
```
`range()` takes more bytes than the list from 0 to 3.

for i in 0,1,2,3:print(i)
