I am new to programming, and I have made this function using Python that prompts the user to enter two numbers; the output will be read the starting number counting up to the last number. I have got this much done, but I would also like it to count down if the starting number is larger than the previous number. So, for example, if the numbers entered are 2 and 8, the output will be 2 3 4 5 6 7 8. If the user enters the opposite, 8 to start and 2 for last, the output should be 8 7 6 5 4 3 2. I have tried using if statements, but I have not been successful; I can only seem to get the function to count up never down. def main():
start = int(input( "Start? "))
last = int(input( "End? " ))
x = 0

for x in range(start, last + 1):
print(x, end = " ")

main()
