Create a list containing all integers within a given range.

range x y = [x..y]

or

range = enumFromTo

or

range x y = take (y-x+1) $ iterate (+1) x

or

range i k 
    | i <= k = i : range (i + 1) k
    | i > k = []

Since there's already syntactic sugar for ranges, there's usually no reason to define a function like 'range' in Haskell. In fact, the syntactic sugar is implemented using the enumFromTo function, which is exactly what 'range' should be.
