Another thing I've found helpful to understand these things in addition to "help" is "which":
julia> which(range,(Int,Int)) range(a::Real, len::Integer) at range.jl:84 I guess you are expecting the second argument to be the "stop" point, but it is the length of the range. julia> length(range(2,5)) 5 julia> length(2:5) 4 I sometimes even look at the source code that "which" points to in order to help understand what the function is actually doing.
