Your mistake is looking for range  which gives you the range of a vector  for example   range c 10  -5  100     gives   -5 100   Instead  look at the   operator to give sequences  with a step size of one     1 100   or you can use the seq function to have a bit more control  For example     Step size of 2 seq 1  100  by 2    or     length out  desired length of the sequence seq 1  100  length out 5

If you need the construct for a quick example to play with  use the   operator   But if you are creating a vector range of numbers dynamically  then use seq   instead   Let s say you are creating the vector range of numbers from a to b with a b  and you expect it to be an increasing series  Then  if b is evaluated to be less than a  you will get a decreasing sequence  but you will never be notified about it  and your program will continue to execute with the wrong kind of input   In this case  if you use seq    you can set the sign of the by argument to match the direction of your sequence  and an error will be raised if they do not match  For example    seq a  b  -1    will raise an error for a 2  b 6  because the coder expected a decreasing sequence
