for i in range(99,-1,-1):
    print i, " bottles of beer on the wall", i, "bottles of beer"

[ ]
can't count backwards from 0 to 10
this is also what i got when I typed range(10,2) in lesson though

for i in range(1,6):
    if i==1:
        print "one"
    elif i==2:
        print "two"
    elif i==3:
        print "three"
    elif i==4:
        print "four"
    else:
        print "five"
