Enumerable.Range - When does it make sense to use?

Question

When programming it\'s almost instinctive deciding when to use a for loop, or foreach, but what is the determining factors or problem space for choosing to use Enumerable.Range?

Answer 1

Enumerable.Range() is a generator, i.e. it is a simple and powerfull way to generate n items of some sort.

Need a collection with random number of instances of some class? No problem:

Enumerable.Range(1,_random.Next())
    .Select(_ => new SomeClass
    {
        // Properties
    });
