Java: Equivalent of Python's range(int, int)?

Question

Does Java have an equivalent to Python\'s range(int, int) method?

Answer 1

public int[] range(int start, int stop)
{
   int[] result = new int[stop-start];

   for(int i=0;i<stop-start;i++)
      result[i] = start+i;

   return result;
}

Forgive any syntax or style errors; I normally program in C#.

Answer 2

The "Functional Java" library allows to program in such a way to a limited degree, it has a range() method creating an fj.data.Array instance.

See:

• http://functionaljava.googlecode.com/svn/artifacts/3.0/javadoc/fj/data/Array.html#range%28int,%20int%29

Similarly the "Totally Lazy" library offers a lazy range method: http://code.google.com/p/totallylazy/
