Question

This object is used in various places to indicate a region within the editor. To better visualize how this works, imagine a rectangle. Each quadrant of the rectangle is analogous to a range, as ranges contain a starting row and starting column, and an ending row, and ending column.

Constructors

• new Range(Number startRow, Number startColumn, Number endRow, Number endColumn)

Creates a new Range object with the given starting and ending row and column points.

startRow	Number	Required. The starting row
startColumn	Number	Required. The starting column
endRow	Number	Required. The ending row
endColumn	Number	Required. The ending column
