Is there a compact equivalent to Python range() in C++/STL

Question

How can I do the equivalent of the following using C++/STL? I want to fill a std::vector with a range of values [min, max).

# Python
>>>         


        

Answer 1

A range() function similar to below will help:

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
using namespace std;

// define range function (only once)
template 
vector  range(T N1, T N2) {
    vector numbers(N2-N1);
    iota(numbers.begin(), numbers.end(), N1);
    return numbers;
}


vector  arr = range(0, 10);
vector  arr2 = range(5, 8);

for (auto n : arr) { cout << n << " "; }    cout << endl;
// output:    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

for (auto n : arr2) { cout << n << " "; }   cout << endl;
// output:    5 6 7
