Better syntax for collecting into array including both end points

General Usage
1

The following code shows two ways of collecting data into an array.
MyArray0 may not include YrEnd depending on YrStep.
MyArray1 always includes YrEnd regardless of YrStep.

Question, is there a better or more elegant way to code MyArray1…Archie

# sample data to drive MyArray0 and MyArray1
YrBeg = 1751
YrStep = 10
YrEnd = 1776
MyArray0 = collect(YrBeg:YrStep:YrEnd) # YrEnd may not be in MyArray0
MyArray1 = push!(collect(YrBeg:YrStep:YrEnd-1), YrEnd) # YrEnd always in MyArray1
@show(MyArray0, MyArray1)
# is there a simpler or more elegant way to code MyArray1?

You can write vcat(YrBeg:YrStep:YrEnd-1, YrEnd), perhaps?

Yes. That is more concise.

range(a, b, length=n)

That works if reals are allowed, however I desire all the values to be integers. Thx…Archie

OK I see, you didn’t actually say that as far as I can see.

Here’s an alternative syntax for the vcat suggestion:

julia> n = 5
5

julia> [1:2:n-1; n]
3-element Array{Int64,1}:
 1
 3
 5
7

Good bust! Shortest yet.
