The range operator produces a list of numbers counting up or down. It is useful for counting and numbering.

Introduced in v5.2.0 The range operator has been updated to use multiple parameters. Prior to this version, the range operator only had one parameter, with the three parts delimited by ,, ; or :.

[range[<begin>]]
[range[<begin>],[<end>]]
[range[<begin>],[<end>],[<step>]]

The behaviour depends on the number of parameters:

Each part must be a number, and works as follows:

• <begin>: start counting at this number.
  • Defaults to 1 if <end> is at least 1 (or -1 if <end> is at most -1).
• <end>: stop counting at this number.
  • This number will appear in the list unless it falls between two steps.
• <step>: count up (or down) by this amount.
  • Defaults to 1.
  • Cannot be zero.
  • We always count from <begin> toward <end>, whether <step> is positive or negative.

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.
