Number Intervals
Decipad has two types of intervals: sequences and ranges.
Creating a Sequence
Sequences allow you to create a series of values with a constant interval between each element. They are handy when you need to generate a sequence of numbers or dates without listing each element explicitly.
[start .. end by step]
You can have sequences of dates by specifying the step:
Creating a Range
Ranges represent a continuous interval of values between two endpoints. They are useful when you want to consider all the elements within a specified range of numbers or dates but you don't care about each individual element.
range(start .. end)
If you prefer, you can also type a range as range(start through end)
, or range(start to end)
.
You can also use the keyword contains
to check wether a value is within a range.
