Fill arrays with ranges of numbers

Question

Is there any syntax/package allowing quick filling of java arrays with ranges of numbers, like in perl?

e.g.

int[] arr = new int[1000];
arr=(1..500,3         


        

Answer 1

Another useful and not widely known Java 8 solution for existing arrays:

int[] array = new int[10];
Arrays.setAll(array, i -> i + 1);
