range

Builtin index · Core maths

result = range(a, b, [step])

Input: a, b, step · Output: result

What it is

Inclusive numeric range as a Vec, from a to b (both scalars) in increments of step (an optional positional scalar, default 1 — step= as a keyword is rejected, unlike most optional Qu arguments) — distinct from the to/a:step:b loop-range syntax.

Overloads

One call shape — this function is not overloaded.

Code	Input	Output	Description
`result = range(a, b, [step])`	`a` Vec or scalarnot documented yet `b` Vec or scalarnot documented yet `step` Vec or scalar, optionalnot documented yet	`result` Vec	Returns a `Vec` whose length depends on `a`, `b`, and `step`.

Examples

From the documentation, and run by the build -- the output and the figure below are what the engine actually produced. Simplest first.

r = range(0, 5)
print("range(0,5) = {r}")

output

range(0,5) = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

How it works

range(a, b) / range(a, b, step) -> inclusive integer-ish range

From the note above this builtin in the interpreter, where the reasoning was written down as it was built.
