JavaScript: Initialize an array containing the numbers in the specified range where start and end are inclusive with their common difference step

JavaScript fundamental (ES6 Syntax): Exercise-54 with Solution

Write a JavaScript program to initialize an array containing numbers in the specified range. Start and end are inclusive of their common point of difference.

• Use Array.from() to create an array of the desired length.
• Use (end - start + 1)/step and a map function to fill the array with the desired values in the given range.
• Omit the second argument, start, to use a default value of 0.
• Omit the last argument, step, to use a default value of 1.

Sample Solution:

JavaScript Code:

//#Source https://bit.ly/2neWfJ2 
const initialize_Array_With_Range = (end, start = 0, step = 1) =>
  Array.from({ length: Math.ceil((end + 1 - start) / step) }).map((v, i) => i * step + start);

console.log(initialize_Array_With_Range(5)); 
console.log(initialize_Array_With_Range(8, 3));  
console.log(initialize_Array_With_Range(6, 0, 2));  

Sample Output:

[0,1,2,3,4,5]
[3,4,5,6,7,8]
[0,2,4,6]
