var answer = []; 
for(var i = foo[0]; i<= foo[1]; i++){

Answer 2

You can split the string into array and then iterate in a loop to get the iteration.

let str = "1-5";
str = str.split('-');
for(let i = parseInt(str[0]); i<=parseInt(str[1]); i++) {
  console.log(i);
}

Answer 3

You may use some cool ES6:

Array.range = function(s){
 const [start,end] = s.split("-");
 return Array.from({length:start-end}).map((_,i)=>i+ +start);
};

Usable like this:

Array.range("1-10") //[1,2,3...]
