Are there errors in for loop?

Is the code snippet written below legal?
s = "1234"
for i in range (0, 4) :
print(s[i], s[i + 1])

1. Yes.

2. No; there should not be a colon at the end of line 2.

3. No; for i = 3, s[i + 1] will result in an string index out of range error.

4. No; for i = 0, s[i] will result in an string index out of range error

3. No; for i = 3, s[i + 1] will result in an string index out of range error.
