Range
In many cases is convenient to have an interval of integers. TO2 has two convenient shorthands for this:
min..max
a range of integers frommin
tomax
exclusiveE.g.
3..6
would be the numbers[3, 4, 5]
min...max
a range of integers frommin
tomax
inclusiveE.g.
3...6
would be the numbers[3, 4, 5, 6]
Most commonly this is used in for loops:
let k = 0
for(i in 0..10) {
k = k + 1
}
Properties
A range has a length
property. Therefor
(3..6).length
will be 3
Methods
A range has a map(converter)
function that can be used to convert to into an array, whereas converter
is a generic function that converts an int
into something else:
(0..4).map(fn(i) -> i * 2)
will be the array [0, 2, 4, 6]
.
(0..4).map(fn(i) -> i.to_string())
will be the array ["0", "1", "2", "3"]
.
