The `range` operator allows a range of numbers to be enumerated, similar to a `for` loop in other programming languages. It's useful in combination with the [[Formula Plugin]].
|
|
|
|
|!Purpose|produce a range of numbers|
|
|
|!Input|ignored.|
|
|
|!Parameter|1-3 numbers separated by `,` or `;`.|
|
|
|!Output|A range of numbers starting with |
|
|
|!`!` Output|As ''Output'', but with order reversed.|
|
|
|
|
The parameter has three forms:
|
|
|
|
* `<end>`
|
|
* `<begin>,<end>`
|
|
* `<begin>,<end>,<step>`
|
|
|
|
Each part must be a number, and works as follows:
|
|
|
|
* `<begin>`: start counting at this number. Defaults to 0.
|
|
* `<end>`: stop counting at this number.
|
|
** It will be included unless it falls between two steps.
|
|
* `<step>`: count up (or down) by this amount.
|
|
** It may be negated so it counts in the right direction.
|
|
** It cannot be zero.
|
|
|
|
The number of decimal points in the output is fixed, and based on the parameter with the //most// decimal points.
|
|
|
|
To prevent the browser from freezing, `range` is currently limited to 10,000 values.
