# Function range
Create an array from a range.
By default, the range end is excluded. This can be customized by providing
an extra parameter `includeEnd`.
## Syntax
```js
math.range(str [, includeEnd]) // Create a range from a string,
// where the string contains the
// start, optional step, and end,
// separated by a colon.
math.range(start, end [, includeEnd]) // Create a range with start and
// end and a step size of 1.
math.range(start, end, step [, includeEnd]) // Create a range with start, step,
// and end.
```
### Where
- `str: string`
A string 'start:end' or 'start:step:end'
- `start: {number | BigNumber}`
Start of the range
- `end: number | BigNumber`
End of the range, excluded by default, included when parameter includeEnd=true
- `step: number | BigNumber`
Step size. Default value is 1.
- `includeEnd: boolean`
Option to specify whether to include the end or not. False by default.
