Count up folks!

Question

Introduction

It may sound strange, but we haven't got ONE challenge for counting from 1 to n, inclusive.

This is not the same thing. That one is a (closed) not well-explained challenge.
This is not the same thing. That one is about counting up indefinitely.

Challenge

Write a program or function that prints every integer from 1 to n inclusive.

Rules

• You can get n any way.
• You can assume that n will always be a positive integer.
• You can get n in any base, but you should always output in decimal.
• Output must be separated by any character (or pattern) not in 0123456789. Non-decimal leading or trailing characters are allowed (for example when using arrays such as [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]).
• Standard loopholes are denied.
• We want to find the shortest approach in each language, not the shortest language, so I will not accept any answer.
• You must update your answer(s) after this edit, answers posted before the last edit must comply with the change rule about standard loopholes (I didn't want to deny them, but I didn't want to make the community roar, so I denied them).
• You can use any post-dating language version (or language). You cannot use any language or language version made just for this challenge.

Bonuses

20%

• Your program must be able to count at least up to 18446744073709551615 (2^64-1). For example, if a new datatype is the only way to support big integers, you must construct it. If your language does not have any way to support huge integers up to 2^64-1, the upper limit of that particular language must be supported instead.

EDIT: I've changed the limit from 2^64 to 2^64-1 to allow more answers.

EDIT: I made the 2^64-1 rule a bonus, since there has not been much interest in this challenge. If your answer supports 2^64-1, you can now edit it to include the bonus. Also, you can post an answer not supporting it, if it is shorter.

This is an unnamed block which expects n on the stack and leaves a list with the range [1...n] on it.
Works by just building the range with , and then incrementing every range element with :) to make the range one-based.

Answer 4

Hexagony, 19

$@?!{M8.</(=/>').$;

Or in the expanded hexagon format:

  $ @ ?
 ! { M 8
. < / ( =
 / > ' ) 
  . $ ;

Huge thanks to Martin for basically coming up with this program, I just golfed it to fit in a side length 3 hexagon.

Try it online!

I don't have Timwi's fantastic Hexagony related programs, so this explanation won't be very colourful. Instead, you get to read a huge blob of text. Isn't that nice?

In any case, the IP starts at the top left corner, on the $, moving Eastward if you imagine this program were placed with North facing upward on a map. The $ causes us to skip the next instruction, which would be @, which would end the program. Instead, we execute ? which sets the current memory edge to be the input number. Now we reach the end of the row, which takes us to the middle row of the hexagon, still moving Eastward.

Most of the rest of the program is a loop. We start with . which is a no-op. Next we encounter a fork in the... uh... hexagon... the < instruction causes the IP to rotate 60 degrees to the right if the current memory edge is positive, otherwise we rotate 60 degrees left. Since we are moving Eastward, we either end up with our heading being South or North East. Since the input is greater than zero (and hence positive) we always start by going South East.

Next we hit a > which redirects us Eastward; these operators only fork if you hit the fork part. Then we hit ' which changes what memory edge we are looking at. Then we hit ) which increments the value of the current memory edge. Since all memory edges start at 0, the first time we do this we get a value of 1. Next we jump up to the second to top line and execute ! which prints out our number. Then we move to another edge with { and store the ASCII value of M multiplied by 10 plus 8 (778). Then we jump back to the second to last line of the hexagon, and hit the /. This results in us moving North West. We go past the . on the middle row, and come out on the ; at the bottom right. This prints out the current memory edge mod 256 as ASCII. This happens to be a newline. We hit ' which takes us back to the first edge that has the value we read in. The we hit / which sets us to move Eastward again. Then we hit ( which decrements the value. = causes us to face the right direction again for the future memory edge jumping.

Now, since the value is positive (unless it is zero) we go back to the bottom of the hexagon. Here we hit . then we jump over the ; so nothing happens, and we go back to the start of the loop. When the value is zero we go back to the beginning of the program, where the same stuff happens again but ? fails to find another number, and we take the other branching path. That path is relatively simple: we hit { which changes the memory edge, but we don't care anymore, then we hit @ which ends the program.

Arbitary precision to the rescue!

Because javascript can only count up to 2^53-1 (Thanks goes to @MartinBüttner for pointing it out), I needed to create arbitary precision to do this. It stores data in an array, and each "tick" it adds 1 to the last element, then goes trough the array, and if something exceedes 9, it sets that element to 0, and adds 1 to the one on the left hand.

Try it here! Note: press F12, to actually see the result, as I didn't want to make you wait for textboxes.

BTW.: I was the only one, who didn't know, ternary operators are so useful in codegolf?

if(statement)executeSomething();

Java 8, 43/69/94 bytes

^{_{Crossed out 44 is still a regular 44 -- wait, I didn't cross it out I just replaced it :(}}

If I can return a LongStream: (43 bytes)

n->java.util.stream.LongStream.range(1,n+1)

This is a lambda for a Function<Long,LongStream>. Technically, I should use rangeClosed instead of range, as I'm cutting off one from my maximum input in this way, but rangeClosed is longer than range.

If I have to print in the function: (69 bytes)

n->java.util.stream.LongStream.range(1,n+1).peek(System.out::println)

This is a lambda for a Consumer<Long>. Technically I'm abusing peek, as it is an intermediate operation, meaning this lambda is technically returning a LongStream like the first example; I should be using forEach instead. Again, golf is not nice code.

Unfortunately, since long's range is a signed 64-bit integer, it does not reach the requested 2^64-1, but merely 2^63-1.

However, Java SE 8 provides functionality to treat longs as if they were unsigned, by calling specific methods on the Long class explicitly. Unfortunately, as Java is still Java, this is rather long-winded, though shorter than the BigInteger version that it replaces. (94 bytes)

n->{for(long i=0;Long.compareUnsigned(i,n)<0;)System.out.println(Long.toUnsignedString(++i));}

This is a Consumer<Long>, as the previous.

Vertical programs are usually more golfable for simple loops in MarioLANG. I'm not sure what the interpreter does when encountering [ inside an elevator, but it seems to terminate the program when the current cell is 0. That's probably a useful trick in general.

Explanation

MarioLANG is a Brainfuck-like language (with an infinite memory tape of arbitrary-precision integers) where the instruction pointer resembles Mario walking and jumping around.

Mario starts in the top left corner and falls downward. ; reads an integer from STDIN and places it in the current memory cell. Now note that = is a ground cell for Mario to walk on, the " and # form an elevator (with # being the start) and ! makes mario stop on the elevator so that he doesn't walk off right away. The > and < set his movement direction. We can see that this gives a simple loop, containing the following code:

)   Move memory pointer one cell right.
+   Increment (initially zero).
:   Print as integer, followed by a space.
(   Move memory pointer one cell left.
-   Decrement.
[   Conditional, see below.

Now normally [ would conditionally make Mario skip the next depending on whether the current cell is zero or not. That is, as long as the counter is non-zero this does nothing. However, it seems that when Mario encounters a [ while riding an elevator and the current cell is 0, the program simply terminates immediately with an error, which means we don't even need to find a way to redirect him correctly.

The only thing of interest is to use n-x (where n is the goal and x the incremented variable) to test the end of the while loop instead of having a dedicated variable, so I end up having n-x and n-(n-x) = x in each loop run

Note: I can only count to 2^31-1. Well I guess the Terminators are not a real danger after all.

?[d1-d1<m]dsmxf

Input read from stdin. This counts down from n, pushing a copy of each numbers to the stack. The stack is then output as one with the f command, so the numbers get printed in the correct ascending order.

Because all the numbers are pushed to the stack, this is highly likely to run out of memory before getting anywhere near 2^64. If this is a problem, then we can do this instead:

Notes

• No Piet answer yet? Let me fix that with my first ever Piet program! This could probably be shorter with better rolls and less pointer manipulation though...

• The upper supported limit depends on the implementation of the interpreter. It would theoretically be possible to support arbitraryly large numbers with the right interpreter.

• The delimeter is ETX (Ascii 3), however this cannot be properly displayed in this answer so I'll just leave them out. It works in the console:
