Detailed description

class Range \ from BOM


Metaclass for Falcon range type.

This class holds the methods that can be applied to Falcon range items. Ranges are created through the [:] operator, like this:

   r1 = [1:10]          // 1 to 10
   r2 = [-1:0]          // reverse sequence
   r3 = [0:10:2]        // stepping range

   > "Hello world"[r2]  // reverses the string

Methods

times()

repeats a sequence a given number of times.

Range.times( sequence )

sequenceFunction or sequence to be repeated.
Returns:Last index processed.

This method works exactly as the times function when the first parameter is a range.
