How to have a default word in a vscode snippet (Python)

Question

I’m new in vscode and I’m adding a snippet for my python.
my snippet is this

"for i in a range": {
    "prefix": "for",
    "body": [
        "for i in range($1,$2):",
        "t$3"
    ],

In the $3 I want to have a "pass" as default and when I tap "tab" for the third time I want to select the pass for me and I change it if I wanted to

What you are looking for is called a placeholder, see snippet placeholders.

So this code would work:

"for i in a range": {
    "prefix": "for",
    "body": [
        "for i in range($1,$2):",
        "t${3:my default text}"
    ]
}

All of my default text will be seleced when you get to that tabstop, you can either overwrite it or tab again to complete the snippet.
