![Task](http://static.miraheze.org/rosettacodewiki/thumb/b/ba/Rcode-button-task-crushed.png/64px-Rcode-button-task-crushed.png)
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
- Task
Generate an array, list, lazy sequence, or even an indexable string of all the lower case ASCII characters, from a to z. If the standard library contains such a sequence, show how to access it, but don't fail to show how to generate a similar sequence.
For this basic task use a reliable style of coding, a style fit for a very large program, and use strong typing if available. It's bug prone to enumerate all the lowercase characters manually in the code.
During code review it's not immediate obvious to spot the bug in a Tcl line like this contained in a page of code: <lang tcl>set alpha {a b c d e f g h i j k m n o p q r s t u v w x y z}</lang>

We take an empty string, and use the "loop" word to create a new character using "'a n:+". The loop passes the current index to the code being iterated, so it starts with 0 and up to 25, adding to the "'a" - which is the numeric value of lowercase "a", and the resultant number is then appended to the string. That converts the number to the appropriate character and appends it: <lang forth> "" ( 'a n:+ s:+ ) 0 25 loop . cr </lang>

Ada
We start with a strong type definition: A character range that can only hold lower-case letters:
<lang Ada> type Lower_Case is new Character range 'a' .. 'z';</lang>
Now we define an array type and initialize the Array A of that type with the 26 letters: <lang Ada> type Arr_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Lower_Case;
A : Arr_Type (1 .. 26) := "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";</lang>
Strong typing would catch two errors: (1) any upper-case letters or other symbols in the string assigned to A, and (2) too many or too few letters assigned to A. However, a letter might still appear twice (or more) in A, at the cost of one or more other letters. Array B is safe even against such errors:
<lang Ada> B : Arr_Type (1 .. 26); begin
B(B'First) := 'a'; for I in B'First .. B'Last-1 loop B(I+1) := Lower_Case'Succ(B(I)); end loop; -- now all the B(I) are different</lang>
ALGOL 68
<lang algol68> # in ALGOL 68, a STRING is an array of characters with flexible bounds #
# so we can declare an array of 26 characters and assign a string # # containing the lower-case letters to it #

# they are consecutive in the character set, as they are in ASCII #

A minor variation would be to perform a mass conversion and character extraction at the end instead of twenty-six individual character id i conversions:
<lang applescript>set l to {} repeat with i from id of "a" to id of "z"
set end of l to i
end repeat
return characters of string id l</lang>

DUP
In DUP, strings between double quotes are stored in a numerically addressed array. The integer before the first "
which gets pushed on the data stack, defines the cell address in which the ASCII value of first character of the string will be stored. All following characters will be stored like an array as values in the following cells. At the end, DUP pushes the length of the string on the data stack.

Forth
Generate a string filled with the lowercase ASCII alphabet <lang Forth>: printit 26 0 do [char] a I + emit loop ;</lang> Or coded another way <lang Forth>: printit2 [char] z 1+ [char] a do I emit loop ;</lang>
We could do something more complicated and allocate space for a string and fill it. Two methods are demonstrated below
<lang>create lalpha 27 chars allot \ create a string in memory for 26 letters and count byte
- ]lalpha ( index -- addr ) \ index the string like an array (return an address)
lalpha char+ + ;
\ method 1: fill memory with ascii values using a loop
- fillit ( -- )
26 0 do [char] a I + \ calc. the ASCII value, leave on the stack I ]lalpha c! \ store the value on stack in the string at index I loop 26 lalpha c! ; \ store the count byte at the head of the string
\ method 2: load with a string literal
- Loadit s" abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" lalpha PLACE ;
</lang>
- Output:

Free Pascal
One can use set constructors like in Delphi. alphabet’s type will be set of char. <lang pascal>program lowerCaseAscii(input, output, stdErr); const alphabet = ['a'..'z']; begin end.</lang> Note, Pascal does not define that the letters A through Z are contiguous, the set constructor above assumes that, though. However, the FPC – the FreePascal compiler – virtually only works on systems, that use at least ASCII as common denominator.
Frink
The following produces a lazy enumerating sequence of the characters.
<lang frink>map["char", char["a"] to char["z"]]</lang>
To produce a non-lazy array of the characters, you can wrap the above in a toArray
call:
<lang frink>toArray[map["char", char["a"] to char["z"]]]</lang>

Icon and Unicon
You can just use the keyword:
&lcase
(although this technically produces a character set instead of a string, it can be used as a string, so string subscripting, generation, etc., all work).
E.g. <lang unicon>every a := put([], !&lcase) # array of 1 character per element c := create !&lcase # lazy generation of letters in sequence</lang>
<lang icon> procedure lower_case_letters() # entry point for function lower_case_letters return &lcase # returning lower caser letters represented by the set &lcase end
procedure main(param) # main procedure as entry point write(lower_case_letters()) # output of result of function lower_case_letters() end </lang>

public static void main(String[] args) { StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(26); for (char ch = 'a'; ch <= 'z'; ch++) sb.append(ch); System.out.printf("lower ascii: %s, length: %s", sb, sb.length()); }
}</lang>
Output:

JavaScript
ES5
In ES5, we can use String.fromCharCode(), which suffices for Unicode characters which can be represented with one 16 bit number.
For Unicode characters beyond this range, in ES5 we have to enter a pair of Unicode number escapes.
<lang JavaScript>(function (cFrom, cTo) {
function cRange(cFrom, cTo) { var iStart = cFrom.charCodeAt(0);
return Array.apply( null, Array(cTo.charCodeAt(0) - iStart + 1) ).map(function (_, i) {
return String.fromCharCode(iStart + i);
}); }
return cRange(cFrom, cTo);
})('a', 'z');</lang>
Returns: <lang JavaScript>["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "x", "y", "z"]</lang>
ES6
In ES6, the new String.fromCodePoint() method can can return 4-byte characters (such as Emoji, for example) as well as the usual 2-byte characters.
<lang JavaScript>(function (lstRanges) {
function cRange(cFrom, cTo) { var iStart = cFrom.codePointAt(0);
return Array.apply( null, Array(cTo.codePointAt(0) - iStart + 1) ).map(function (_, i) {
return String.fromCodePoint(iStart + i);
}); }
return lstRanges.map(function (lst) { return cRange(lst[0], lst[1]); });
})([
['a', 'z'], ['🐐', '🐟']
]);</lang>
Output:
<lang JavaScript>[["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "x", "y", "z"],
["🐐", "🐑", "🐒", "🐓", "🐔", "🐕", "🐖", "🐗", "🐘", "🐙", "🐚", "🐛", "🐜", "🐝", "🐞", "🐟"]]</lang>
<lang JavaScript>var letters = [] for (var i = 97; i <= 122; i++) {
letters.push(String.fromCodePoint(i))
}</lang>
Or, if we want to write a more general ES6 function:
<lang JavaScript>(() => {
// enumFromTo :: Enum a => a -> a -> [a] const enumFromTo = (m, n) => { const [intM, intN] = [m, n].map(fromEnum), f = typeof m === 'string' ? ( (_, i) => chr(intM + i) ) : (_, i) => intM + i; return Array.from({ length: Math.floor(intN - intM) + 1 }, f); };
// GENERIC FUNCTIONS ------------------------------------------------------
// compose :: (b -> c) -> (a -> b) -> (a -> c) const compose = (f, g) => x => f(g(x));
// chr :: Int -> Char const chr = x => String.fromCodePoint(x);
// ord :: Char -> Int const ord = c => c.codePointAt(0);
// fromEnum :: Enum a => a -> Int const fromEnum = x => { const type = typeof x; return type === 'boolean' ? ( x ? 1 : 0 ) : type === 'string' ? ord(x) : x; };
// map :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b] const map = (f, xs) => xs.map(f);
// show :: a -> String const show = x => JSON.stringify(x);
// uncurry :: Function -> Function const uncurry = f => args => f.apply(null, args);
// unlines :: [String] -> String const unlines = xs => xs.join('\n');
// unwords :: [String] -> String const unwords = xs => xs.join(' ');
// TEST ------------------------------------------------------------------- return unlines(map(compose(unwords, uncurry(enumFromTo)), [ ['a', 'z'], ['α', 'ω'], ['א', 'ת'], ['🐐', '🐟'] ]));
})();</lang>

The Haskell-like '--' marker preceding each comment is not necessary in Mathcad, and is only there to indicate text rather than an expression.
Method 1: Using a Range Variable.
<lang Mathcad> -- user-defined function that returns the ASCII code for string character ch. code(ch):=str2vec(ch)[0
-- number of lower-case ASCII characters N:=26
-- range variable covering the relative indices of the lower-case characters within the ASCII character set (0 = 'a', 25 = 'z'). k:=0..N-1
-- ASCII code for letter 'a' (a=97 ). a:=code("a")
-- iterate over k to produce a vector of lower case ASCII character codes lcCodes[k:=k+a
-- convert vector to string of ordered ASCII lower-case characters. lcString:=vec2str(lcCodes) lcString="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
-- Characters are indexable within the string; for example: substr(lcString,3,1)="d" </lang>
Method 2: Using a Function.
<lang Mathcad> -- Mathcad Express lacks the programming capability of Mathcad Prime, so uses the built-in if function to implement a recursive solution (if(predicate,true expr, false expr)).
-- char(cd): return the string character with code cd. char(cd):=vec2str([cd])
-- charseq(m,n): return a string containing an ordered list of the characters whose codes lie between m and n, inclusive. charseq(m,n):=if(m>=n,char(m),concat(char(m),charseq(m+1,n)))
charseq(code("a"),code("z"))="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" charseq(code("A"),code("Z"))="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" charseq(code("0"),code("9"))="0123456789" charseq(code("а"),code("я"))="абвгдежзийклмнопрстуфхцчшщъыьэюя" charseq(code("α"),code("ω"))="αβγδεζηθικλμνξοπρςστυφχψω"

Using tagset() is obviously easier, but you have to remember its parameters are (finish,start=1,step=1), that way round so that start can be omitted and default to 1 (ditto step).
In Phix there is really not much difference between 1..26 and 'a'..'z', and none at all between 'a'..'z' and 97..122.

idiomatic version
This REXX version shows how to generate an indexable string of a similar sequence as per the
lowercase ASCII alphabet (or rather, the Latin [English] alphabet), using a reliable style of coding
(for both ASCII and EBCDIC systems).
This version also works on non-ASCII systems (such as EBCDIC) and isn't dependent on the
consecutiveness nature of any particular ASCII character subsequence.
Note that on an EBCDIC system, there are 41 characters between (lowercase) a ──► z
(inclusive), some of which don't have viewable/displayable glyphs.
<lang rexx>/*REXX program creates an indexable string of lowercase ASCII or EBCDIC characters: a─►z*/

SuperCollider
Previously, it was claimed that the method that maps ascii number to character is polymorphic on collections. However, that doesn't seem to be the case – at least not anymore in the newer version (3.10.2). A fix was added below the original code. <lang SuperCollider> (97..122).asAscii; // This example unfortunately throws an error
// for me when running it on version 3.10.2
// Apparently, the message 'asAscii' cannot be understood by // an Array, so I used the message 'collect' to apply the function // enclosed in {} to each individual element of the Array, // passing them the message 'asAscii':
(97..122).collect({|asciiCode| asciiCode.asAscii});
// Instead of writing the ascii codes directly as numbers, // one could also pass the chars a and z the message 'ascii' to convert // them to ascii codes – perhaps making the code a bit clearer:
($a.ascii..$z.ascii).collect({|asciiCode| asciiCode.asAscii});
// both examples output [ a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z ]
</lang>
Backwards:
<lang SuperCollider>
"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz".ascii
// answers [ 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122 ]
</lang>
Swift
<lang Swift>var letters = [Character]()
for i in 97...122 {
let char = Character(UnicodeScalar(i)) letters.append(char)
}</lang>
Tcl
The most common way of doing this in Tcl would be to use a simple literal; it's only 51 characters after all: <lang tcl>set alpha {a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z}</lang> Though it could be done like this as well: <lang tcl>set alpha [apply {{} {
scan "az" "%c%c" from to for {set i $from} {$i <= $to} {incr i} { lappend l [format "%c" $i] } return $l
}}]</lang>
UNIX Shell
In bash or ksh93 with braceexpand set: <lang sh>lower=({a..z})</lang>
In zsh with braceccl set: <lang sh>lower=({a-z})</lang>
Either way, you can display the result like this:
<lang sh>echo "${lower[@]}"</lang>
- Output:
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
