_.range() function:
- It is used to print the list of elements from the start given as a parameter to the end also a parameter.
- The start and step parameters are optional.
- The default value of start is 0 and that of step is 1.
- In the list formed the start is inclusive and the stop is exclusive.
- The step parameter can be either positive or negative.
Syntax:
_.range([start], stop, [step])
Parameters:
It takes three arguments:
- The start (optional)
- The stop
- The step (optional)
Return value:
The returned value is the list from the start till the end (exclusive).
Examples:
- Passing only the stop parameter to the _.range() function:
The ._range() function takes the element from the list one by one and do the specified operations on the code. Like here the operation is addition of the elements of the list. After adding all the elements, the reduce function ends. Here the starting value of memo is taken as ‘0’.
<html>
<head>
<script src =
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
console.log(_.range(7));
</script>
</body>
</html>
|
Output:
- Passing 2 parameters to the _.range() function:
We can even use this function by passing only 2 parameters, i.e., the start and the stop parameters then also it will have no errors. Like hers the start parameter is 7 which will be included in the list. And the end parameter is 14 which is not included in the list as per the _.range function. So we will take the default parameter of the step parameter which is one. Hence we will get a list from 7 till 13.
<html>
<head>
<script src =
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
console.log(_.range(7, 14));
</script>
</body>
</html>
|
Output:
- Passing all the 3 parameters to the _.range() function:
Here we take all the 3 parameters, i.e., the start, stop and the step of the list are mentioned. So, there is no need for the default values. Here the start is from 7 and the step is 3 that means the after 7 the element will be 7+3= 10 in the list. And the calculations will continue in the same manner till the end which is 20 comes.
<html>
<head>
<script src =
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
console.log(_.range(7, 21, 3));
</script>
</body>
</html>
|
Output:
- Passing the stop less than the start parameter to the _.range() function:
Even if we pass the start parameter less than the stop parameter, the _.range() function will not give any error. It will itself adjust the step parameter as negative to reach the stop from the start given. So, the list will contain numbers from 21 till 16 as the end, 15, is not included in the list.
<html>
<head>
<script src =
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
console.log(_.range(21, 15));
</script>
</body>
</html>
