how to print values between 2 numbers in APL?

I am not able to print values ranging from 30 to 50 both inclusive in APL.

Actually I tried so much operators but not working.

Solution

  • What are your constraints? Do you want to define a function or do you just want to know how to iterate? Does "print" mean return as result or literally print to somewhere (output/file)?

    In the easiest way, use iota ⍳ to iterate through the distance between the two bounds, then add the lower one to the results. Assuming index origin IO is set to 0:

        30 + ⍳21
30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50

    If IO is set to 1, lower the lower bound:

        29 + ⍳21
30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50

    You can always inspect or set IO using ⎕IO if you wanted to switch:

        ⎕IO ← 0
0
