.TH SERIES 1 "October 24, 1986" "\(co 1980 Gary Perlman" "|STAT" "UNIX User's Manual" .SH NAME series \- generate an additive series of numbers .SH SYNOPSIS .I series start end [stepsize] .SH DESCRIPTION .I series prints the real numbers from .I start to .I end, one per line. If .I stepsize is not specified, it is assumed to be of unit size. .I series begins with .I start to which .I stepsize is repeatedly added or subtracted, as appropriate, to approach, possibly meet, but not pass .I end. .SH EXAMPLE .nf .ta .5i To make a random permutation of the numbers 1 to 100: series 1 100 | perm or series 100 1 | perm .fi .SH LIMITATIONS The reported number of significant digits is limited. If the ratio of the series range to the .I stepsize is too large, several numbers in a row will be equal. The maximum length of a series is limited to the size of the maximum long integer that can be represented on the machine in use. Exceeding this value has undefined results.
