Loops/Wrong ranges

You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Some languages have syntax or function(s) to generate a range of numeric values from a start value, a stop value, and an increment.

The purpose of this task is to select the range syntax/function that would generate at least two increasing numbers when given a stop value more than the start value and a positive increment of less than half the difference.   You are then to use that same syntax/function but with different parameters; and show, here, what would happen.

Use these values if possible:



start 
stop 
increment 
Comment


 -2
2
1
Normal


 -2
2
0
Zero increment


 -2
2
-1
Increments away from stop value


 -2
2
10
First increment is beyond stop value


2
-2
1
Start more than stop: positive increment


2
2
1
Start equal stop: positive increment


2
2
-1
Start equal stop: negative increment


2
2
0
Start equal stop: zero increment


0
0
0
Start equal stop equal zero: zero increment
