Function to Initialize Array with Range
To initialize an array with a range of numbers, use the following function:
const initializeArrayWithRange = (end, start = 0, step = 1) => {
const length = Math.ceil((end - start + 1) / step);
return Array.from({ length }, (_, i) => i * step + start);
};
This function takes three arguments: end
(required), start
(optional, default value is 0
), and step
(optional, default value is 1
). It returns an array containing the numbers in the specified range, where start
and end
are inclusive with their common difference step
.
To use this function, simply call it with the desired range parameters:
initializeArrayWithRange(5); // [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
initializeArrayWithRange(7, 3); // [3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
initializeArrayWithRange(9, 0, 2); // [0, 2, 4, 6, 8]
This function uses Array.from()
to create an array of the desired length, and then a map function to fill the array with the desired values in the given range. If you omit the second argument, start
, it will use a default value of 0
. If you omit the last argument, step
, it will use a default value of 1
.
