range

[ghost]

range symbol isn't working with float and char value included quote:

(1.5 3.5) range ;; expected a quot is (1.5 2.5 3.5) instead of an error
("a" "c") range ;; expected a quot is ("a" "b" "c") instead of an error

Erorr:

(!) <repl>(1,19) [range]: 'intVal' is not accessible using discriminant 'kind' of type 'MinValueObject'
    <repl>(1,19) in symbol: range

Going to fix it for num but strings... mmmm, don't wanna get into that for now (no Unicode support yet etc)

Maybe for ASCII?

🤔🤨🤬 hmmmmmm....

Problem is that it would have to be extended quite a bit to support all that validation, and it's in the num module... OR! You could just use ord and chr with a sprinkle of apply and map and be done with it:

("a" ord "z" ord) => range 'chr map

😬👍👏😎

Erhm... in the same spirit, you could just use it as-is and map it to whatever float you want to get a range of floats:

 (1 7) range (0.5 *) map

So, in other words, I gotta fix only the validation and make sure you can provide only a quotation of int values. 😊

(1 7) range (0.5 *) map

Not a great solution i think. ❌ 😸 Result quote doesn't even start from 1 right?? : (0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5)

But as you mean, one never need to a native float or string range. Instead, one need to be wise for thinking how will symbols which are much more useful done in min... haha

Thanks for enlighting me. 💡

Haha yes you are right, didn't think of that with floats 😊👍

But yes we can survive without.

But yes we can survive without.

Yep, right!
