SERIES(1)              UNIX User's Manual               SERIES(1)

NAME
     series - create a series of numbers

SYNOPSIS
     series start end [incr]

DESCRIPTION
     _S_e_r_i_e_s prints the real number from _s_t_a_r_t to _e_n_d, one per
     line.  If _i_n_c_r is not specified, it is assumed to be 1.0 if
     _s_t_a_r_t is less than _e_n_d, and -1.0 if _s_t_a_r_t is greater that
     _e_n_d.  If _i_n_c_r is specified, it is repeatedly added to _s_t_a_r_t
     while the running sum is less than or equal to _e_n_d.  _I_n_c_r
     should be negative if _s_t_a_r_t is greater than _e_n_d.

EXAMPLE
     To make a random permutation of the numbers 1 to 100:
                         series 1 100 | perm

SEE ALSO
