编码为2010年规格（是的，2016年是ES6发电机）。这是我的想法，其中包含模拟Python的range（）函数的选项。

Array.range = function(start, end, step){
    if (start == undefined) { return [] } // "undefined" check

    if ( (step === 0) )  {  return []; // vs. throw TypeError("Invalid 'step' input")
    }  // "step" == 0  check

    if (typeof start == 'number') { // number check
        if (typeof end == 'undefined') { // single argument input
            end = start;
            start = 0;
            step = 1;
        }
        if ((!step) || (typeof step != 'number')) {
          step = end < start ? -1 : 1;
        }

        var length = Math.max(Math.ceil((end - start) / step), 0);
        var out = Array(length);

        for (var idx = 0; idx < length; idx++, start += step) {
          out[idx] = start;
        }

        // Uncomment to check "end" in range() output, non pythonic
        if ( (out[out.length-1] + step) == end ) { // "end" check
            out.push(end)
        }

    } else { 
        // Historical: '&' is the 27th letter: http://nowiknow.com/and-the-27th-letter-of-the-alphabet/
        // Axiom: 'a' < 'z' and 'z' < 'A'
        // note: 'a' > 'A' == true ("small a > big A", try explaining it to a kid! )

        var st = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ&'; // axiom ordering

        if (typeof end == 'undefined') { // single argument input
            end = start;
            start = 'a';
        }

        var first = st.indexOf(start);
        var last = st.indexOf(end);

        if ((!step) || (typeof step != 'number')) {
          step = last < first ? -1 : 1;
        }

        if ((first == -1) || (last == -1 )) { // check 'first' & 'last'
            return []
        }

        var length = Math.max(Math.ceil((last - first) / step), 0);
        var out = Array(length);

        for (var idx = 0; idx < length; idx++, first += step) {
          out[idx] = st[first];
        } 

        // Uncomment to check "end" in range() output, non pythonic
        if ( (st.indexOf(out[out.length-1]) + step ) == last ) { // "end" check
            out.push(end)
        }
    }
    return out;
}

例子：

Array.range(5);       // [0,1,2,3,4,5]
Array.range(4,-4,-2); // [4, 2, 0, -2, -4]
Array.range('a','d'); // ["a", "b", "c", "d"]
Array.range('B','y'); // ["B", "A", "z", "y"], different from chr() ordering
Array.range('f');     // ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f"]
Array.range(-5);      // [], similar to python
Array.range(-5,0)     // [-5,-4-,-3-,-2,-1,0]

我正在分享我的实现，以防它对某人有所帮助。

function Range(start_or_num, end = null, increment = 1) {
    const end_check = end === null
    const start = end_check  ? 0 : start_or_num
    const count = end_check ? start_or_num : Math.round((end - start) / increment) + 1
     const filterFunc = end_check  ?  x => x >= start : x => x < end && x >= start

    return [...Array.from(
        Array(count).keys(), x => increment * (x - 1) + start
    )
    ].filter(filterFunc)
}
// usage
// console.log(Range(4, 10, 2)) // [4, 6, 8]
// console.log(Range(5, 10 )) //[5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
// console.log(Range(10 ))// [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

没有一个示例进行了测试，每个步骤都有一个生成递减值的选项。

export function range(start = 0, end = 0, step = 1) {
    if (start === end || step === 0) {
        return [];
    }

    const diff = Math.abs(end - start);
    const length = Math.ceil(diff / step);

    return start > end
        ? Array.from({length}, (value, key) => start - key * step)
        : Array.from({length}, (value, key) => start + key * step);

}

测验：

import range from './range'

describe('Range', () => {
    it('default', () => {
        expect(range()).toMatchObject([]);
    })

    it('same values', () => {
        expect(range(1,1)).toMatchObject([]);
    })

    it('step=0', () => {
        expect(range(0,1,0)).toMatchObject([]);
    })

    describe('step=1', () => {
        it('normal', () => {
            expect(range(6,12)).toMatchObject([6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]);
        })

        it('reversed', () => {
            expect(range(12,6)).toMatchObject([12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7]);
        })
    })

    describe('step=5', () => {

        it('start 0 end 60', () => {
            expect(range(0, 60, 5)).toMatchObject([0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55]);
        })

        it('reversed start 60 end -1', () => {
            expect(range(55, -1, 5)).toMatchObject([55, 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 0]);
        })
    })
})

使用Harmony生成器，除IE11外，所有浏览器都支持：

var take = function (amount, generator) {
    var a = [];

    try {
        while (amount) {
            a.push(generator.next());
            amount -= 1;
        }
    } catch (e) {}

    return a;
};

var takeAll = function (gen) {
    var a = [],
        x;

    try {
        do {
            x = a.push(gen.next());
        } while (x);
    } catch (e) {}

    return a;
};

var range = (function (d) {
    var unlimited = (typeof d.to === "undefined");

    if (typeof d.from === "undefined") {
        d.from = 0;
    }

    if (typeof d.step === "undefined") {
        if (unlimited) {
            d.step = 1;
        }
    } else {
        if (typeof d.from !== "string") {
            if (d.from < d.to) {
                d.step = 1;
            } else {
                d.step = -1;
            }
        } else {
            if (d.from.charCodeAt(0) < d.to.charCodeAt(0)) {
                d.step = 1;
            } else {
                d.step = -1;
            }
        }
    }

    if (typeof d.from === "string") {
        for (let i = d.from.charCodeAt(0); (d.step > 0) ? (unlimited ? true : i <= d.to.charCodeAt(0)) : (i >= d.to.charCodeAt(0)); i += d.step) {
            yield String.fromCharCode(i);
        }
    } else {
        for (let i = d.from; (d.step > 0) ? (unlimited ? true : i <= d.to) : (i >= d.to); i += d.step) {
            yield i;
        }
    }
});

我刚刚通过Object.defineProperty在Array上创建了这个polyfill，以创建整数或字符串的范围。Object.defineProperty是创建polyfills的一种更安全的方法。

更安全的polyfill

if (!Array.range) {
  Object.defineProperty(Array, 'range', {
    value: function (from, to, step) {
      if (typeof from !== 'number' && typeof from !== 'string') {
        throw new TypeError('The first parameter should be a number or a character')
      }

      if (typeof to !== 'number' && typeof to !== 'string') {
        throw new TypeError('The second parameter should be a number or a character')
      }

      var A = []
      if (typeof from === 'number') {
        A[0] = from
        step = step || 1
        while (from + step <= to) {
          A[A.length] = from += step
        }
      } else {
        var s = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
        if (from === from.toUpperCase()) {
          to = to.toUpperCase()
          s = s.toUpperCase()
        }
        s = s.substring(s.indexOf(from), s.indexOf(to) + 1)
        A = s.split('')
      }
      return A
    }
  })
} else {
  var errorMessage = 'DANGER ALERT! Array.range has already been defined on this browser. '
  errorMessage += 'This may lead to unwanted results when Array.range() is executed.'
  console.log(errorMessage)
}

示例

// Return: [1, 2, 3]

Array.range(1, 3, 0.5)

// Return: [1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3]

Array.range('a', 'c')

// Return: ['a', 'b', 'c']

Array.range('A', 'C')

// Return: ['A', 'B', 'C']

Array.range(null)
Array.range(undefined)
Array.range(NaN)
Array.range(true)
Array.range([])
Array.range({})
Array.range(1, null)

// Return: Uncaught TypeError: The X parameter should be a number or a character

我的代码高尔夫同事想出了这个（ES6），包容的：

(s,f)=>[...Array(f-s+1)].map((e,i)=>i+s)

非包容性：

(s,f)=>[...Array(f-s)].map((e,i)=>i+s)
