i want an array that contains a range of numbers but store them as strings. this is a sample output i need:
['0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9']
I tried this, but it produces a string with an array as its value.
julia> string([0:9...])
"[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]"
so how can i generate such thing?
and this is how it can be done in python in case of better understanding:
>>> list('0123456789')
['0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9']
First of all, note that Julia has separate types for Char (single characters) and String types. In Julia, ['0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9'] would be a character array, and can be created as:
julia> '0':'9'
'0':1:'9'
You can verify that this contains the above array by doing:
julia> '0':'9' |> collect |> print
['0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9']
But if you do want the result to be Strings and not Chars, you can use broadcasting to generate that:
julia> v = 1001:1010 # your input range here
1001:1010
julia> string.(v)
10-element Vector{String}:
"1001"
"1002"
"1003"
"1004"
"1005"
"1006"
"1007"
"1008"
"1009"
"1010"
