Using range() in For Loop (Python 3.3.3)

I have googled the whole internets and can't find the reason why I get this error when using range() function:

>>> for x in range(5):
     print "Hello World!"

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I expect 5 Hello Worlds there.

It's ok on Python 2.7, but on Python 3.3.3 (64bits, Windows 8.1) I get this error. Could anybody advice how can I make loops in Python 3.3.3? Is it bug or something has changed a lot since 2.7 regarding "For"?

Thanks. :/

In python 3 and above print is a function so try writing

for x in range(5): print("Hello World!")

print is a function in Python 3, you need to put parentheses:

for x in range(5): 
    print("Hello World!")

From the official website:

The print statement has been replaced with a print() function, with keyword arguments to replace most of the special syntax of the old print statement (PEP 3105).

In Python 3.x, print is a function, so you must call it with parentheses ():

print("Hello World!")
