Range (computer programming)

A range represents a list of values between its first and last. The lower limit is the first value and the upper limit is the last value. The range between 1 and 6 is 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Range may refer to: values in a variable or array, an operator, a data type, or to be used instead of an iterator.

Below are some notable languages using the range operator (..):

Perl,^[3]

Kotlin,^[4]

for (i in 1..6) print(i)
