How can I generate a list or array of sequential integers in Java?

Question

Is there a short and sweet way to generate a List, or perhaps an Integer[] or int[], with sequential values from some

Answer 1

The following one-liner Java 8 version will generate [ 1, 2 ,3 ... 10 ]. The first arg of iterate is the first nr in the sequence, and the first arg of limit is the last number.

List numbers = Stream.iterate(1, n -> n + 1)
                              .limit(10)
                              .collect(Collectors.toList());
