NumericArithmeticProgression / New Layer

Create a new column with values in arithmetic sequence (adding a constant difference between consecutive terms). Similar to numpy.arange() or range() in Python. The sequence starts at Start and increases by Step for each row. Formula: $a_{n} = St a r t + n * St e p$

Table

Start

f64

First value (Start) in the sequence. Examples:

0 for zero-based indexing
1 for one-based indexing
Any number to offset the sequence

Step

f64

Constant difference (Step) between consecutive terms. Examples:

1 for consecutive integers
2 for even numbers (if start is even)
-1 for descending sequence
0.5 for half-unit steps

AsColumn

name

Name for the new column. If not provided, the system generates a unique name. If AsColumn matches an existing column, the existing column is replaced. The name should follow valid column naming conventions.
