# Create An Array Containing 1 To N
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Some languages, such as Ruby, have a built in range constraint that makes it
|
||||||
|
easy to construct an array of values from 1 to N. JavaScript is not one of
|
||||||
|
those languages. Nevertheless, if you don't mind the aesthetics, you can get
|
||||||
|
away with something like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```javascript
|
||||||
|
> Array.apply(null, {length: 10}).map(Number.call, Number);
|
||||||
|
=> [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
That gives us `0` through `9`. To get `1` through `10`, we can tweak it
|
||||||
|
slightly:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```javascript
|
||||||
|
> Array.apply(null, {length: 10}).map(Number.call, function(n) {
|
||||||
|
return Number(n) + 1;
|
||||||
|
});
|
||||||
|
=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To generalize this, we can replace `10` with `N` and then just expect that
|
||||||
|
`N` will be defined somewhere:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```javascript
|
||||||
|
> var N = 10;
|
||||||
|
=> undefined
|
||||||
|
> Array.apply(null, {length: N}).map(Number.call, function(n) {
|
||||||
|
return Number(n) + 1;
|
||||||
|
});
|
||||||
|
=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
|
||||||
|
```
