If FIRST or
INCREMENT is omitted, it defaults to 1. That is, an omitted
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. FORMAT must be
suitable for printing one argument of type
’double’; it defaults to %.PRECf if FIRST,
INCREMENT, and LAST are all fixed point decimal numbers with
maximum precision PREC, and to %g otherwise.
