{{Built-ins|Range|…|..}} or '''Sequence''' is a [[dyadic]] [[primitive function]] which creates a [[vector]] of consecutive integers based on the start and end values given by its [[argument|arguments]]. It serves as an [[index origin]]-agnostic alternative to [[Index Generator]] for creating a range of numbers. Range is currently implemented in [[NARS2000]] (using the digraph <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>..</syntaxhighlight>), [[Extended Dyalog APL]], and [[dzaima/APL]]. | |||

If the left argument is greater than the right argument, the result becomes a decreasing sequence. | If both arguments are [[scalar]] integers, Range creates the consecutive range between the two arguments inclusive.
