# Generators

Create sequences of values on the stack.

## Arithmetic Range

The `..` operator pushes an arithmetic sequence:

```forth
1 4 ..     ( pushes 1 2 3 4 )
60 67 ..   ( pushes 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 )
```

## Geometric Range

The `geom..` operator creates a geometric sequence:

```forth
1 2 4 geom..   ( pushes 1 2 4 8 )
100 0.5 4 geom..  ( pushes 100 50 25 12.5 )
```

Stack: `(start ratio count -- values...)`

## Generate

The `gen` word executes a quotation multiple times:

```forth
{ 1 6 rand } 4 gen  ( 4 random values from 1-6 )
{ coin } 8 gen      ( 8 random 0/1 values )
```

## Examples

Random melody:

```forth
"pluck" s
  { 48 72 rand } 4 gen 4 choose note
.
```

Chord from range:

```forth
"pad" s
  60 67 .. 8 choose note  ( random note in octave )
.
```

Euclidean-style rhythm values:

```forth
0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0  ( manual )
{ coin } 8 gen   ( random 8-step pattern )
```

## Words

| Word | Stack | Description |
|------|-------|-------------|
| `..` | (start end -- values...) | Arithmetic sequence |
| `geom..` | (start ratio count -- values...) | Geometric sequence |
| `gen` | (quot n -- results...) | Execute quotation n times |
