loop
Usage: :loop:<count>|<start>,<end>[,<step>]
Generates a table whose single column increments over a given range.
The specification may either be a single value N giving the number of rows, which yields values in the range 0..N-1, or two or three comma-separated values giving the start, end and optionally step corresponding to the conventional specification of a loop variable.
The supplied numeric parameters are interpreted as floating point values, but the output column type will be 32- or 64-bit integer or 64-bit floating point, depending on the values that it has to take.
Examples:
:loop:5:
a 5-row table whose integer column has values
0, 1, 2, 3, 4
:loop:10,20:
a 10-row table whose integer column has values
10, 11, ... 19
:loop:1,2,0.25:
a 10-row table whose floating point column has values
1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75
:loop:1e10:
a ten billion row table, with 64-bit integer values
Example:
:loop:6 +---+ | i | +---+ | 0 | | 1 | | 2 | | 3 | | 4 | | 5 | +---+
