Done.  See the doc associated:

(defun number-sequence (from &optional to inc)
 "Return a sequence of numbers from FROM to TO (both inclusive) as a list.
INC is the increment used between numbers in the sequence.
So, the Nth element of the list is (+ FROM (* N INC)) where N counts from
zero.
If INC is nil, it defaults to 1 (one).
If TO is nil, it defaults to FROM.
If TO is less than FROM, the value is nil.
Note that FROM, TO and INC can be integer or float."
 (if (not to)
     (list from)
   (or inc (setq inc 1))
   (let (seq)
     (while (<= from to)
   (setq seq (cons from seq)
         from (+ from inc)))
     (nreverse seq))))
