\title{Range of Values}
\usage{
range.default(\dots, na.rm = FALSE, finite = FALSE)
}
\arguments{
    \item{\dots}{any \code{\link{numeric}} objects.}
    \item{na.rm}{logical, indicating if \code{\link{NA}}'s should be
    omitted.}
    \item{finite}{logical, indicating if all non-finite elements should
    be omitted.}
}
\description{
    \code{range.default} returns a vector containing the minimum and
    maximum of all the values present in its first arguments, unless
    \code{na.rm} or \code{finite} is \code{TRUE}.  If \code{na.rm} is
    \code{FALSE}, \code{NA} and \code{NaN} values in any of the
    arguments will cause NA values to be returned, otherwise \code{NA}
    values are ignored.  If \code{finite} is \code{TRUE}, the minimum
    and maximum of all finite values is computed, i.e.,
    \code{finite=TRUE} \emph{includes} \code{na.rm=TRUE}. 
}
\details{
    This is the default method of the generic function
    \code{\link{range}}.
