Sequence

Supported in: Batch, Streaming

Creates an array with numbers in range from start to end.

Expression categories: Array

Declared arguments

  • End - The number to end at (inclusive).
    Expression<T>
  • Start - The number to start from (inclusive).
    Expression<T>
  • optional Step size - The size of the steps between numbers.
    Expression<T>

Type variable bounds: T accepts Byte | Integer | Long | Short

Output type: Array<T>

Examples

Example 1: Base case

Description: Byte base case. Argument values:

  • End: 10
  • Start: 0
  • Step size: 1

Output: [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 ]


Example 2: Base case

Description: Integer base case. Argument values:

  • End: 10
  • Start: 0
  • Step size: 1

Output: [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 ]


Example 3: Base case

Description: Long base case. Argument values:

  • End: 10
  • Start: 0
  • Step size: 1

Output: [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 ]


Example 4: Base case

Description: Sequences increase by 1 unless otherwise specified. Argument values:

  • End: 10
  • Start: 0
  • Step size: null

Output: [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 ]


Example 5: Base case

Description: Short base case. Argument values:

  • End: 10
  • Start: 0
  • Step size: 1

Output: [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 ]


Example 6: Base case

Description: You can specify a custom step amount Argument values:

  • End: 10
  • Start: 0
  • Step size: 2

Output: [ 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 ]


Example 7: Base case

Description: Steps can be negative Argument values:

  • End: 0
  • Start: 10
  • Step size: -1

Output: [ 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 ]


Example 8: Edge case

Description: Invalid sequences become null Argument values:

  • End: 0
  • Start: 10
  • Step size: 2

Output: null
