In this shot, we will learn about the collect
function in Julia.
The collect()
function is used to create an array of objects.
We will use the following syntax for collect()
function.
There are two ways of using the following syntax:
collect(start,stop)
collect(start,step,stop)
The collect()
function accepts the following parameters:
start
: This is used to specify the starting object of the range.step
: This is used to specify to skip the objects for which no steps are provided. It defaults to 1
.stop
: This is used to specify the maximum for the range.The collect()
function returns an array of objects for the given range.
Let’s look at an example to better understand this:
In the following example, we create an array of objects for the range 1
to 10
and, since we are not providing any step value, it will take 1
as the default step.
The display
function is used to display the array that is returned by the collect
function.
#Using collect without stepdisplay(collect(1:10))
In the following example, we are creating an array of objects for the range 1 to 10
, using 2
as the step. Hence, the collect
function will skip 2
objects for each object created in the array.
#Using collect with stepdisplay(collect(1:2:10))
