• function range(start: number, end: number): number[];

  Generates an array of numbers within a specified range.

  Name	Type	Description	Optional?	Default
  start	number	The starting value of the range.	No	N/A
  end	number	The ending value of the range.	No	N/A

• function range(start: number, end: number, step: number): number[];

  Generates an array of numbers within a specified range.

  Name	Type	Description	Optional?	Default
  start	number	The starting value of the range.	No	N/A
  end	number	The ending value of the range.	No	N/A
  step	number	The increment or decrement value between each number in the range.	No	N/A

Usage

const range = require('@santi100/range-function'); // CommonJS
import range from '@santi100/range-function'; // ESM
import range = require('@santi100/range-function'); // TypeScript

function testRange() {
    try {
        const result1 = range(1, 10);
        console.log('Result 1:', result1);

        const result2 = range(0, -10, -2);
        console.log('Result 2:', result2);

        const result3 = range(1, 5, 0); // This should throw an error
        console.log('Result 3:', result3); // This line won't be reached due to the error
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error:', error.message);
    }
}

testRange();
