NEST HelpDesk Command Index NEST Quick Reference
Name:
Range - Generate array with range of number
Synopsis:
[N] Range -> [1 ... N]
[N1 N2] Range -> [N1 ... N2]
[N1 N2 d] Range -> [N1 N1+d N1+2d ...]
Examples:
[5] Range -> [1 2 3 4 5]
[2 5] Range -> [2 3 4 5]
[5 2] Range -> []
[5 2 -1] Range -> [5 4 3 2]
[1.0 10.0 2.5] Range -> [1 3.5 6 8.5]
Description:
Range accepts an array which contains either
1) a single integer
2) an interval specified by two integers or two doubles
3) an interval and a stepsize, specified by three integers or
three doubles.

Range generates an array with numbers which are in the specified
range. The type of the result corresponds to the type used for
specifying the interval.

Range returns an empty array if the set specified by N1, N2 and d
does not contain any element. This behavior is essential if
Range is used in combination with functional operators like
FoldList and NestList.
