Create array of all integers between two numbers inclusive in Javascript jQuery

Question

Say I have the following checkbox    lt input type  checkbox  value  1-25    gt    To get the two numbers that define the boundaries of range I m looking for  I use the following jQuery   var value     this  val    var lowEnd   Number value split  -   0    var highEnd   Number value split  -   1      How do I then create an array that contains all integers between lowEnd and highEnd  including lowEnd and highEnd themselves  For this specific example  obviously  the resulting array would be    1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10  11  12  13  14  15  16  17  18  19  20  21  22  23  24  25

Adding http   minifiedjs com  to the list of answers     Code is similar to underscore and others   var l123     range 1  4           same as   1  2  3  var l0123     range 3             same as   0  1  2  var neg123     range -3  0        same as   -3  -2  -1  var empty     range 2 1           same as       Docs here  http   minifiedjs com api range html  I use minified js because it solves all my problems with low footprint and easy to understand syntax  For me  it is a replacement for jQuery  MustacheJS and Underscore SugarJS in one framework   Of course  it is not that popular as underscore  This might be a concern for some   Minified was made available by Tim Jansen using the CC-0  public domain  license

If the start is always less than the end  we can do   function range start  end      var myArray         for  var i   start  i  lt   end  i    1        myArray push i         return myArray     console log range 4  12                          4  5  6  7  8  9  10  11  12    If we want to be able to take a third argument to be able to modify the step used to build the array  and to make it work even though the start is greater than the end   function otherRange start  end  step      otherArray         if  step    undefined        step   1         if  step  gt  0        for  var i   start  i  lt   end  i    step          otherArray push i             else       for  var i   start  i  gt   end  i    step          otherArray push i                return otherArray     console log otherRange 10  0  -2                 10  8  6  4  2  0  console log otherRange 10  15                    10  11  12  13  14  15  console log otherRange 10  20  2                 10  12  14  16  18  20    This way the function accepts positive and negative steps and if no step is given  it defaults to 1

function range j  k         return Array          apply null  Array  k - j    1            map function    n   return n   j             this is roughly equivalent to  function range j  k         var targetLength    k - j    1      var a   Array targetLength       var b   Array apply null  a       var c   b map function    n   return n   j          return c      breaking it down   var targetLength    k - j    1   var a   Array targetLength     this creates a sparse matrix of the correct nominal length   Now the problem with a sparse matrix is that although it has the correct nominal length  it has no actual elements  so  for  j   7  k   13  console log a     gives us  Array    lt 7 empty slots gt      Then  var b   Array apply null  a     passes the sparse matrix as an argument list to the Array constructor  which produces a dense matrix of  actual  length targetLength  where all elements have undefined value   The first argument is the  this  value for the the array constructor function execution context  and plays no role here  and so is null   So now    console log b     yields   Array   undefined  undefined  undefined  undefined  undefined  undefined  undefined     finally  var c   b map function    n   return n   j        makes use of the fact that the Array map function passes  1  the value of the current element and 2  the index of the current element  to the map delegate callback   The first argument is discarded  while the second can then be used to set the correct sequence value  after adjusting for the start offset   So then  console log c     yields   Array   7  8  9  10  11  12  13

I highly recommend underscore or lo-dash libraries    http   underscorejs org  range   Almost completely compatible  apparently lodash runs quicker but underscore has better doco IMHO     range  start   stop   step     Both libraries have bunch of very useful utilities

You can design a range method that increments a  from  number by a desired amount until it reaches a  to  number  This example will  count  up or down  depending on whether from is larger or smaller than to   Array range  function from  to  step       if typeof from    number            var A   from           step  typeof step    number   Math abs step  1          if from gt  to               while  from -  step  gt   to  A push from                     else              while  from    step  lt   to  A push from                     return A               If you ever want to step by a decimal amount   Array range 0 1  01  you will need to truncate the values of any floating point imprecision  Otherwise you will return numbers like 0 060000000000000005 instead of  06    This adds a little overhead to the other version  but works correctly for integer or decimal steps   Array range  function from  to  step  prec       if typeof from    number            var A   from           step  typeof step    number   Math abs step  1          if  prec               prec   from step  1  String  from step  1  length 1 0                    if from gt  to               while   from -  step  toFixed prec  gt   to  A push  from toFixed prec                      else              while   from    step  toFixed prec  lt   to  A push  from toFixed prec                      return A

My five cents   Both direction array of integers function   When range 0  5  become  0  1  2  3  4  5    And range 5  0  become  5  4  3  2  1  0    Based on this answer   function range start  end      const isReverse    start  gt  end     const targetLength   isReverse    start - end    1    end - start     1    const arr   new Array targetLength     const b   Array apply null  arr     const result   b map  discard  n    gt        return  isReverse    n   end   n   start           return  isReverse    result reverse     result      P S  For use in real life you should also check args for isFinite   and isNaN
