how to make a range clojure

To create a range in Clojure, you can use the range function. The range function generates a sequence of numbers from a starting value (inclusive) to an ending value (exclusive), with an optional step size.

Here's the syntax for using the range function:

(range start end step)
  • start: The starting value of the range (inclusive).
  • end: The ending value of the range (exclusive).
  • step: The step size between each value in the range (optional).

Here are a few examples:

  1. Creating a range from 0 to 9 (exclusive):
(range 0 10)

Output: (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9)

  1. Creating a range from 1 to 10 (exclusive) with a step size of 2:
(range 1 11 2)

Output: (1 3 5 7 9)

  1. Creating a range from 10 to 1 (exclusive) with a negative step size of -1:
(range 10 0 -1)

Output: (10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1)

Please note that the range function returns a lazy sequence, which means the values are computed on-demand. If you need to use the range as a concrete collection, you can wrap it with the vec function to convert it into a vector.
