I would be more in favor of something like the code below, its just a
proof of concept.
Array.prototype.range = function (value, start, end, step) {
if (typeof value === "number") {
end = (start >= 0 && value >= 0) ? Math.min(value, start) : 0;
start = (start >= 0 && value >= 0) ? Math.max(value, start);
// What if value < start < 0, what's the default then?
step = (arguments.length == 3) ? end : 1;
value = "";
}
if (typeof value !== "number") {
start ?? 0;
//end ?? // Again, what should be the default? this.length?
step ?? 1;
}
var result = [];
for(var i=start; i < end; i++) {
result.push(value);
}
return result;
}
