Changing iteration variable inside for loop in Python
<p>I am trying to do something as simple as changing the varible in which I am iterating over (i) but I am getting different behaviours in both Python and C.</p>

<p>In Python,</p>

<pre><code>for i in range(10):
    print i,
    if i == 2:
        i = 4;
</code></pre>

<p>I get <code>0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9</code>, but the equivalent in C:</p>

<pre><code>int i;
for (i = 0; i &lt; 10; i++) {
    printf("%d", i);
    if (i == 2)
        i = 4;
}
</code></pre>

<p>I get <code>01256789</code> (note that numbers 3 and 4 don't appear, as expected).</p>

<p>What's happening here?</p>
