39. implement range()

There are several ways to implement range() function in JavaScript. Here are a few possible solutions:

  1. Using a generator function:
function* range(from, to) {
  for (let num = from; num <= to; num++) {
    yield num;
  }
}

This implementation uses a generator function, which allows us to create an iterable object that generates a sequence of numbers on the fly. The yield keyword is used to produce a value from the generator each time it is called, and the for loop is used to generate all the numbers in the range from from to to.

We can use this range() function with a for...of loop as shown in the example:

for (let num of range(1, 4)) {
  console.log(num);  
}
// Output: 1, 2, 3, 4
  1. Using Array.from() method:
function range(from, to) {
  return Array.from({ length: to - from + 1 }, (_, i) => from + i);
}

This implementation uses the Array.from() method to create an array of numbers in the range from from to to. The first parameter to Array.from() is an object that has a length property equal to the number of elements in the resulting array. The second parameter is a map function that generates the numbers in the range based on their index in the array.

We can use this range() function with a for...of loop as shown in the example:

for (let num of range(1, 4)) {
  console.log(num);  
}
// Output: 1, 2, 3, 4
  1. Using ES6 spread operator:
function range(from, to) {
  return [...Array(to - from + 1)].map((_, i) => from + i);
}

This implementation is similar to the previous one, but it uses the ES6 spread operator (...) to convert the array returned by Array() constructor into a list of arguments passed to map() method.

We can use this range() function with a for...of loop as shown in the example:

for (let num of range(1, 4)) {
  console.log(num);  
}
// Output: 1, 2, 3, 4

All of these implementations produce the same output in the given example. You can choose the one that you find more readable and suits your needs.
