If FIRST or INCREMENT is omitted, it defaults to 1. That is, an omit-
ted INCREMENT defaults to 1 even when LAST is smaller than FIRST.
FIRST, INCREMENT, and LAST are interpreted as floating point values.
INCREMENT is usually positive if FIRST is smaller than LAST, and
INCREMENT is usually negative if FIRST is greater than LAST. When
given, the FORMAT argument must contain exactly one of the printf-
style, floating point output formats %e, %f, %g
