Question

Mathematica has a function called Range[] that does the following:

Range[0, 10]
Range[-10, 0]

Ant it prints:

{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
{-10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0}

Does C++ have such a function?

Answer 1

None in the standard library, but from boost::range:

#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <boost/range/irange.hpp>
#include <boost/range/algorithm/copy.hpp>

int main()
{
    boost::copy(boost::irange(0, 11), 
                std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " "));
}

Output:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
