boost - How to initialize a vector with elements between two point and step c++ -

i'm going initialize vector elements scaled uniformly between 2 numbers known steps. pseudo code.

typedef vector<double> a(startnumber, step, endnumber); 

e.g.

vector<double> a(1, 1, 10); // = {1, 2, ...., 10}; 

is there way in c++?

sure:

template <typename t> std::vector<t> createrange(t start, t end, t step) {     std::vector<t> result;     (; start < end; start += step) {         result.push_back(start);     }     return result; } 

anything else more complicated without being better (e.g. iota() or generate()). this'll work if step > 0. if want work negative steps, have switch on sign check start > end in case instead.
