arange

arange(start: int | float, /, stop: int | float | None = None, step: int | float = 1, *, dtype: dtype | None = None, device: device | None = None) array

Returns evenly spaced values within the half-open interval [start, stop) as a one-dimensional array.

Parameters:
  • start (Union[int, float]) – if stop is specified, the start of interval (inclusive); otherwise, the end of the interval (exclusive). If stop is not specified, the default starting value is 0.

  • stop (Optional[Union[int, float]]) – the end of the interval. Default: None.

  • step (Union[int, float]) – the distance between two adjacent elements (out[i+1] - out[i]). Must not be 0; may be negative, this results in an empty array if stop >= start. Default: 1.

  • dtype (Optional[dtype]) – output array data type. If dtype is None, the output array data type must be inferred from start, stop and step. If those are all integers, the output array dtype must be the default integer dtype; if one or more have type float, then the output array dtype must be the default real-valued floating-point data type. Default: None.

  • device (Optional[device]) – device on which to place the created array. Default: None.

Note

This function cannot guarantee that the interval does not include the stop value in those cases where step is not an integer and floating-point rounding errors affect the length of the output array.

Returns:

out (array) – a one-dimensional array containing evenly spaced values. The length of the output array must be ceil((stop-start)/step) if stop - start and step have the same sign, and length 0 otherwise.
