[perl-python] Range function

Today we'll be writing a function called Range. The Perl documentation
is as follows.

Perl & Python & Java Solutions will be posted in 48 hours.

Range

Range($iMax) generates the list [1, 2, ... , $iMax].

Range($iMin, $iMax) generates the list [$iMin, ... , $iMax].

Range($iMin, $iMax, $iStep) uses increment $iStep, with the last
element
in the result being less or equal to $iMax. $iStep cannot be 0. If
$iStep is negative, then the role of $iMin and $iMax are reversed.

If Range fails, 0 is returned.

Example:

Range(5); # returns [1,2,3,4,5]

Range(5,10); # returns [5,6,7,8,9,10]

Range( 5, 7, 0.3); # returns [5, 5.3, 5.6, 5.9, 6.2, 6.5, 6.8]

Range( 5, -4, -2); # returns [5,3,1,-1,-3]

I don't think so. Unless you meant to write "Today WE'll be writing ...."

Bullshit. The Perl documentation is part of any Perl installation but you
didn't link to it anywhere left alone quote it.
Actually I'm glad you didn't, it's quite large after all.
