# Incrspace > Generate a linearly spaced numeric array using a provided increment.
## Usage ```javascript var incrspace = require( '@stdlib/array/incrspace' ); ``` #### incrspace( start, stop\[, increment] ) Generates a linearly spaced numeric `array`. If an `increment` is not provided, the default `increment` is `1`. ```javascript var arr = incrspace( 0, 11, 2 ); // returns [ 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 ] ```
### Notes - The output `array` is guaranteed to include the `start` value but does **not** include the `stop` value. Beware that values subsequent to the `start` value are subject to floating-point errors. Hence, ```javascript var arr = incrspace( 0.1, 0.5, 0.2 ); // returns [ 0.1, ~0.3 ] ``` where `arr[1]` is only guaranteed to be approximately equal to `0.3`. If you desire more control over element precision, consider using [roundn][@stdlib/math/base/special/roundn]: ```javascript var roundn = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/roundn' ); var arr; var out; var i; // Create an array subject to floating-point errors: arr = incrspace( 0, 1.01, 0.02 ); // Round each value to the nearest hundredth: out = []; for ( i = 0; i < arr.length; i++ ) { out.push( roundn( arr[ i ], -2 ) ); } console.log( out.join( '\n' ) ); ```
## Examples ```javascript var incrspace = require( '@stdlib/array/incrspace' ); var out; // Default behavior: console.log( '\nDefault:' ); out = incrspace( 0, 10 ); console.log( out.join( '\n' ) ); // Specify increment: console.log( '\nIncrement 2:' ); out = incrspace( 0, 10, 2 ); console.log( out.join( '\n' ) ); console.log( '\nIncrement 2:' ); out = incrspace( 0, 11, 2 ); console.log( out.join( '\n' ) ); console.log( '\nIncrement 0.02:' ); out = incrspace( 0, 1.01, 0.02 ); console.log( out.join( '\n' ) ); // Create an array using a negative increment: console.log( '\nDecremented values:' ); out = incrspace( 10, 0, -2 ); console.log( out.join( '\n' ) ); ```
