title: initializeArrayWithRangeRight
tags: array,math,intermediate
---
Initializes an array containing the numbers in the specified range (in reverse) where `start` and `end` are inclusive with their common difference `step`.
Use `Array.from(Math.ceil((end+1-start)/step))` to create an array of the desired length(the amounts of elements is equal to `(end-start)/step` or `(end+1-start)/step` for inclusive end), `Array.prototype.map()` to fill with the desired values in a range.
You can omit `start` to use a default value of `0`.
You can omit `step` to use a default value of `1`.
```js
const initializeArrayWithRangeRight = (end, start = 0, step = 1) =>
Array.from({ length: Math.ceil((end + 1 - start) / step) }).map(
(v, i, arr) => (arr.length - i - 1) * step + start
);
```
```js
initializeArrayWithRangeRight(5); // [5,4,3,2,1,0]
initializeArrayWithRangeRight(7, 3); // [7,6,5,4,3]
initializeArrayWithRangeRight(9, 0, 2); // [8,6,4,2,0]
```
