Function range

Create an array from a range. By default, the range end is excluded. This can be customized by providing an extra parameter includeEnd.

Syntax

math.range(str [, includeEnd])               // Create a range from a string,
                                             // where the string contains the
                                             // start, optional step, and end,
                                             // separated by a colon.
math.range(start, end [, includeEnd])        // Create a range with start and
                                             // end and a step size of 1.
math.range(start, end, step [, includeEnd])  // Create a range with start, step,
                                             // and end.
