JavaScript function similar to Python range()

Question

Is there a function in JavaScript similar to Python\'s range()?

I think there should be a better way than to write the following lines every time:

Answer 1

A port of the range function from Python 2 is provided by the underscore.js and lodash utility libraries (along with many other useful tools). Examples copied from the underscore docs:

_.range(10);
=> [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
_.range(1, 11);
=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
_.range(0, 30, 5);
=> [0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25]
_.range(0, -10, -1);
=> [0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9]
_.range(0);
=> []
