Re: [Numpy-discussion] Was the range() function ever created?

When I looked up pandas mailing list. Numpy showed up. Maybe is because Pandas is built on Numpy? My apologies. Yes, please do. For people with statistical background, but not CS. It seems strange the *real* range() function is used to generate natural numbers. Thanks, Ben! On Fri, May 24, 2019 at 10:34 PM Benjamin Root wrote:

This is the numpy discussion list, not the pandas discussion list. Now, for numpy's part, I have had hankerings for a `np.minmax()` ufunc, but never enough to get over just calling min and max on my data separately.

Hello all,

I am want to calculate the range of a vector. I saw that someone asked for range() in 2011, but was it ever created? https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/288

Response at the time was to use df.describe(). But df.describe() gives all the 5-number summary statistics, but I DON'T WANT wall the extra stuff I didn't ask for. I was expected a numerical number. I can use that to feed into another function.

It exists in Matlab and R, why not in Python? I'm quite frustrated every time I need to calculate the range.

Thanks in advance.
