How to create an array containing 1…N

Question

I\'m looking for any alternatives to the below for creating a JavaScript array containing 1 through to N where N is only known at runt

Answer 1

If you happen to be using d3.js in your app as I am, D3 provides a helper function that does this for you.

So to get an array from 0 to 4, it's as easy as:

d3.range(5)
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

and to get an array from 1 to 5, as you were requesting:

d3.range(1, 5+1)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
