Question

For example, in Perl, to get a sequential array of numbers from 1 to 10, you could simply do:

@myArray = (1 .. 10);

The two periods serve as shorthand for this operations instead of making a for loop or writing the whole thing out manually. Other languages I’ve used have something similar also.

Does a similar shorthand exist in Tcl?

Answer 1

Not quite this one, but

% package require struct::list
1.6.1
% struct::list iota 10
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Also search this for the “iota” keyword to see how this can be done using a one-liner.
