Make an iterator that returns evenly spaced values starting with *n*. Often
used as an argument to :func:`map` to generate consecutive data points.
Also, used with :func:`zip` to add sequence numbers. Equivalent to::
- def count(n=0, step=1):
+ def count(start=0, step=1):
# count(10) --> 10 11 12 13 14 ...
# count(2.5, 0.5) -> 3.5 3.0 4.5 ...
+ n = start
while True:
yield n
n += step
