I want to convert a range of Int into a a List or an Array. I have this code working in Scala 2.8:
var years: List[Int] = List()
val firstYear = 1990
val lastYear = 2011
firstYear.until(lastYear).foreach(
e => years = years.:+(e)
)
I would like to know if there is another syntax possible, to avoid using foreach, I would like to have no loop in this part of code.
Thanks a lot!

You can use toList method:
scala> 1990 until 2011 toList
res2: List[Int] = List(1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010)
toArray method converts Range to array.
Iterators too, which I was looking forAnd there's also this, in addition to the other answers:
List.range(firstYear, lastYear)
Range has a toList and a toArray method:
firstYear.until(lastYear).toList
firstYear.until(lastYear).toArray
Simply:
(1990 until 2011).toList
but don't forget that until does not include the last number (stops at 2010). If you want 2011, use to:
(1990 to 2011).toList
