<p><font size=+1><b>DESCRIPTION     </b></font><br>

<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>

    <i>Seq</i> prints a sequence of numbers, one per line, from <i>first</i> (default
    1) to as near <i>last</i> as possible, in increments of <i>incr</i> (default
    1). The loop is:<br>
     
    <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>

        <tt><font size=+1>for(val = min; val &lt;= max; val += incr) print val;<br>
        </font></tt>
    </table>
    The numbers are interpreted as floating point. 
    <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
    
    Normally integer values are printed as decimal integers. The options
    are<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;f</font></tt><i>format</i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Use the <a href="../man3/print.html"><i>print</i>(3)</a>-style <i>format print</i> for printing each
    (floating point) number. The default is <tt><font size=+1>%g</font></tt>.<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;w</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Equalize the widths of all numbers by padding with leading zeros
    as necessary. Not effective with option <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;f</font></tt>, nor with numbers in
    exponential notation.<br>

<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>

    Option <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;w</font></tt> always surveys every value in advance. Thus <tt><font size=+1>seq &#8722;w 1000000000</font></tt>
    is a painful way to get an &#8216;infinite&#8217; sequence.<br>
