| |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td> |
| |
| <i>Seq</i> prints a sequence of numbers, one per line, from <i>first</i> (default |
| 1) to as near <i>last</i> as possible, in increments of <i>incr</i> (default |
| 1). The loop is:<br> |
| |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td> |
| |
| <tt><font size=+1>for(val = min; val <= max; val += incr) print val;<br> |
| </font></tt> |
| </table> |
| The numbers are interpreted as floating point. |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table> |
| |
| Normally integer values are printed as decimal integers. The options |
| are<br> |
| <tt><font size=+1>−f</font></tt><i>format</i> Use the <a href="../man3/print.html"><i>print</i>(3)</a>-style <i>format print</i> for printing each |
| (floating point) number. The default is <tt><font size=+1>%g</font></tt>.<br> |
| <tt><font size=+1>−w</font></tt> Equalize the widths of all numbers by padding with leading zeros |
| as necessary. Not effective with option <tt><font size=+1>−f</font></tt>, nor with numbers in |
| exponential notation.<br> |

| |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td> |
| |
| Option <tt><font size=+1>−w</font></tt> always surveys every value in advance. Thus <tt><font size=+1>seq −w 1000000000</font></tt> |
| is a painful way to get an ‘infinite’ sequence.<br> |
