.. _auto_math_range:

*GET A RANGE OF NUMBERS BETWEEN MIN AND MAX PROVIDED*
=====================================================

Generates an evenly-spaced numeric sequence between a minimum and maximum value using a configurable step size, similar to PHP's `range()`. Use it whenever a workflow needs a series of numbers (e.g., parameter sweeps or loop indices) formatted as strings.

Inputs
------

.. list-table::
   :header-rows: 1
   :widths: 20 20 20 20 20 20

   * - Label
     - ID
     - Type
     - Default
     - Required
     - Description
   * - Min
     - min
     - scalar
     - 0
     - ✓
     - Start value of the numeric range (inclusive); dimensionless scalar, defaults to 0.
   * - Max Number
     - max
     - float
     - 1
     - ✓
     - End value of the numeric range (inclusive); dimensionless float, defaults to 1.
   * - Step
     - step
     - float
     - 0.1
     - ✓
     - Increment between consecutive values in the range; dimensionless float, defaults to 0.1 — reduce for finer resolution or increase for coarser steps.
   * - Format
     - format
     - text
     - %10.2f
     - ✓
     - C-style printf format string used to render each number as text (e.g. '%10.2f' for a 10-character field with 2 decimal places); defaults to '%10.2f' and rarely needs changing.

Outputs

     - Type
     - Description
   * - math_range_output_1
     - math_range_output_1
     - scalar
     - Ordered list of formatted numeric strings spanning [min, max] at the given step interval, each formatted according to the 'format' input.
