A newly discovered number: bleen!

Question

"The Nobel Prize in mathematics was awarded to a California professor who has discovered a new number! The number is bleen, which he claims belongs between 6 and 7." --George Carlin

In this challenge, you will print all Integers, inclusive, within the given input range. Print numbers ascending or descending according to their input order. That is, for input [n1, n2], print ascending if n1 < n2, descending if n1 > n2.

Since bleen is now an Integer number it may be used as input. It must also be included in the output, between 6 and 7 where applicable. Also note that -bleen exists between -7 and -6.

Input

Two Integers [n1, n2] in the range [-10, 10], inclusive, via your programming language's input of choice.

(Input may also contain bleen and -bleen!)

Output

Print all Integers starting at n1 and ending with n2, including the newly discovered bleen between 6 and 7. Output can be a range of character separated numbers in some form your language supports - that is, comma or space separated. One trailing space of output is okay.

Examples

Input:  1 10
Output: 1 2 3 4 5 6 bleen 7 8 9 10 

Input:  -9 -4
Output: -9 -8 -7 -bleen -6 -5 -4

Input:  -8 bleen
Output: -8 -7 -bleen -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 bleen

Input:  9 1
Output: 9 8 7 bleen 6 5 4 3 2 1

Input:  2 -bleen
Output: 2 1 0 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -bleen

Input:  -bleen 0
Output: -bleen -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0

Input:  bleen bleen
Output: bleen

Input:  2 2
Output: 2

Additional notes

You may write a program or function and use any standard method of receiving input and providing output.

You may use any programming language, but standard loopholes are not allowed.

This is code-golf, so the shortest valid answer – measured in bytes – wins.

Answer 1

Python 3, 132 130 bytes

r=round
bleen=6.1
m=1.08
a,b=eval(input())
d=1-2*(a>b)
print(*[[r(i/m),"-bleen"[i>0:]][i*i==49]for i in range(r(m*a),d+r(m*b),d)])

Takes input in the following example format:

-8, bleen

Answer 2

Ruby, 114 100 98 bytes

Input is an array with [n1, n2]. (If it must be two seperate arguments, +1 byte to change the function arg from g to *g. Bleen must be a string, "bleen". Outputs an array of the range. Suggested by @Jordan with his (?) initial version granting -7 bytes, but I also golfed off 7 more after that.

Try it online.

->g{a=*-10..-7,?-+b='bleen',*-6..6,b,*7..10;x,y=g.map{|v|a.index v}
y<x ?a[y..x].reverse: a[x..y]}

Original full program version that reads input from ARGV:

b='bleen'
a=[*-10..-7,?-+b,*-6..6,b,*7..10].map &:to_s
x,y=$*.map{|v|a.index v}
puts y<x ?a[y..x].reverse: a[x..y]

K++L\-P_J++`M7"bleen"`M}7TJ@LK}FxLK

Test suite.

The first part, i.e. K++L\-P_J++`M7"bleen"`M}7TJ, generates this array:

['-10', '-9', '-8', '-7', '-bleen', '-6', '-5', '-4', '-3', '-2', '-1', '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', 'bleen', '7', '8', '9', '10']

and then stores it in K.

The second part, i.e. @LK}FxLK, finds the sublist indicated by the input.

a,b=eval(input())
s='-'
c='bleen'
d=a<b
l=list(map(str,range(-10,11)))[::[-1,1][d]]
x=l.insert
y=l.index
x(4,d*s+c)
x(18,(1^d)*s+c)
print(l[y(a):y(b)+1])

Input like '-10', '8'. Tips are welcome for a beginner.

Added 7 to account for -bleen. Added 15 to account for reversed input like '8','-10'. Added a large 21 to account for the reversed input signs for bleen vs -bleen.

@set/ableen=1431655772,a=%1*3,b=%2*3,c=b-a^>^>31^|1

Works by looping from 3*%1 to 3*%3 and then dividing by three and printing the numbers with no remainder, however setting bleen to that magic number causes integer overflow and the value 20 is used instead. This is then printed out at the appropriate point in the loop.

JavaScript (ES6), 158

Nice challenge, hard to golf. Probably the range methods used in Python and Ruby answers could score better even in JS.

(a,b)=>(c=x=>x<-6?x-1:x>6?x+1:1/x?x:x<'b'?-7:7,a=c(a),b=c(b),d=b>a?1:-1,a-=d,e=x=>x-7?x-(x>7):'bleen',[...Array(d*(b-a))].map((x=a+=d)=>x<0?'-'+e(-x):e(x)))  

Less golfed

(a,b)=>(
  c=x=>x<-6?x-1:x>6?x+1:1/x?x:x<'b'?-7:7,
  a=c(a),b=c(b),
  d=b>a?1:-1,
  a-=d,
  e=x=>x-7?x-(x>7):'bleen',
  [...Array(d*(b-a))].map((x=a+=d)=>x<0?'-'+e(-x):e(x))

Input is in the form -5, 'bleen'

c='bleen'
s=l.insert
t=l.index

Java, 271 bytes

int p(String w){if(w.contains("b"))return w.length()<6?7:-7;int i=Integer.decode(w);return i<-6?i-1:i>6?i+1:i;}void b(String s,String f){Integer l=p(s),r=p(f);for(r+=l<r?1:-1;l!=r;l-=l.compareTo(r))System.out.print(l==-7?"-bleen ":l==7?"bleen ":l+(l<-7?1:l<7?0:-1)+" ");}

Ungolfed with test cases:

class Bleen {
     static int p(String w) {
         if(w.contains("b"))
             return w.length() < 6 ? 7 : -7;
         int i = Integer.decode(w);
         return i < -6 ? i-1 : i>6 ? i+1 : i;
     }

     static void b(String s, String f) {
         Integer l = p(s), r = p(f);
         for(r += l<r ? 1 : -1; l != r; l -= l.compareTo(r))

         b("-8", "bleen"); System.out.println();
         b("9", "1"); System.out.println();
         b("2", "-bleen"); System.out.println();
         b("-bleen", "0"); System.out.println();
         b("bleen", "bleen"); System.out.println();
         b("2", "2"); System.out.println();
     }
}

Call b(start, end). Because the parameters are strings, it takes a lot of space to convert those into ints. Essentially the program treats 7 & -7 as bleen and -bleen.

Java 7, 251 bytes

import java.util.*;String b(Object...a){String q="bleen",r="";List l=new ArrayList();int j=-10,i,z,y,t;while(j<11)l.add(j++);l.add(4,"-"+q);l.add(18,q);z=l.indexOf(a[0]);y=l.indexOf(b[1]);if(y<z){t=z;z=y;y=t;}for(i=z;i<=y;)r+=l.get(i++)+" ";return r;}

Different approach which is shorter than the already existing Java 7 answer.
Also, it's unfortunate that the parameters are potentially not in order, which adds some bytes to swap them around.

Ungolfed & test cases:

Try it here.

import java.util.*;
class Main{
  static String b(Object... a){
    String q = "bleen",
           r = "";
    List l = new ArrayList();
    int j = -10, i, z, y, t;
    while(j < 11){
      l.add(j++);
    }
    l.add(4, "-"+q);
    l.add(18, q);
    z = l.indexOf(a[0]);
    y = l.indexOf(a[1]);
    if(y < z){
      t = z;
      z = y;
      y = t;
    }
    for(i = z; i <= y; ){
      r += l.get(i++) + " ";
    }
    return r;
  }

  public static void main(String[] a){
    System.out.println(b(1, 10));
    System.out.println(b(-9, -4));
    System.out.println(b(-8, "bleen"));
    System.out.println(b(9, 1));
    System.out.println(b(2, "-bleen"));
    System.out.println(b("-bleen", 0));
    System.out.println(b("bleen", "bleen"));
    System.out.println(b(2, 2));
  }

Python 2, 100 bytes

The first four lines generate the list [-10, -9, -8, -7, 'bleen', -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 'bleen', 7, 8, 9, 10]. The next line gets input and stores it in s and e. The last two lines use .index() and list slicing notation to get the correct range.

a=range(-10,11)
b="bleen"
c=a.insert
c(17,b)
c(4,b)
s,e=eval(input())
d=a.index
print a[d(s):d(e)+1]
