Java: Equivalent of Python's range(int, int)?
Old question, new answer (for Java 8)
IntStream.range(0, 10).forEach(
n -> {
System.out.println(n);
}
);
or with method references:
IntStream.range(0, 10).forEach(System.out::println);
Guava also provides something similar to Python's range
:
Range.closed(1, 5).asSet(DiscreteDomains.integers());
You can also implement a fairly simple iterator to do the same sort of thing using Guava's AbstractIterator:
return new AbstractIterator<Integer>() {
int next = getStart();
@Override protected Integer computeNext() {
if (isBeyondEnd(next)) {
return endOfData();
}
Integer result = next;
next = next + getStep();
return result;
}
};
I'm working on a little Java utils library called Jools, and it contains a class Range
which provides the functionality you need (there's a downloadable JAR).
Constructors are either Range(int stop)
, Range(int start, int stop)
, or Range(int start, int stop, int step)
(similiar to a for loop) and you can either iterate through it, which used lazy evaluation, or you can use its toList()
method to explicitly get the range list.
for (int i : new Range(10)) {...} // i = 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
for (int i : new Range(4,10)) {...} // i = 4,5,6,7,8,9
for (int i : new Range(0,10,2)) {...} // i = 0,2,4,6,8
Range range = new Range(0,10,2);
range.toList(); // [0,2,4,6,8]
