Built-in practice: range()

In this exercise, you will practice using Python's built-in function range(). Remember that you can use range() in a few different ways:

1) Create a sequence of numbers from 0 to a stop value (which is exclusive). This is useful when you want to create a simple sequence of numbers starting at zero:

range(stop)

# Example
list(range(11))

[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

2) Create a sequence of numbers from a start value to a stop value (which is exclusive) with a step size. This is useful when you want to create a sequence of numbers that increments by some value other than one. For example, a list of even numbers:

range(start, stop, step)

# Example
list(range(2,11,2))

[2, 4, 6, 8, 10]

Create a range object that starts at zero and ends at five. Only use a stop argument.
Convert the nums variable into a list called nums_list.
Create a new list called nums_list2 that starts at one, ends at eleven, and increments by two by unpacking a range object using the star character (*).
