Sequences

The Sequencer class can be used to quickly create different sequences of numbers.

// Create different number sequences

using ByteDev.Collections.Sequences;

// ...

const int size = 8;

// 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1
IList<int> r = Sequencer.Repeating(size, 1);

// 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
IList<int> n = Sequencer.Natural(size);

// 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
IList<int> w = Sequencer.Whole(size);

// 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
IList<int> i1 = Sequencer.Integers(size);

// -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
IList<int> i2 = Sequencer.Integers(size, -2);

// 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15
IList<int> a = Sequencer.Arithmetic(size, 1, 2);

// 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128
IList<int> g = Sequencer.Geometric(size, 1, 2);

// 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13
IList<int> f = Sequencer.Fibonacci(size);

// 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19
IList<int> p = Sequencer.Primes(size);

// 10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1
IList<int> c = Sequencer.Collatz(10);

// 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36
IList<int> t = Sequencer.Triangular(size);

// 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64
IList<int> s = Sequencer.Square(size);

// 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, 343, 512
IList<int> s = Sequencer.Cube(size);

// 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256
IList<int> p2 = Sequencer.PowerOfTwo(size);

// 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14
IList<int> e1 = Sequencer.Even(size);

// 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18
IList<int> e2 = Sequencer.Even(size, 4);

// 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15
IList<int> o1 = Sequencer.Odd(size);

// 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17
IList<int> o2 = Sequencer.Odd(size, 3);

// 1, 4, 10, 20, 35, 56, 84, 120
IList<int> tet = Sequencer.Tetrahedral(size, 3);
