# init(_:)

Creates an instance equivalent to the given Range.

## Declaration

```swift
init(_ other: Range<Bound>)
```

## Parameters

- `other`: A Range to convert to a ClosedRange instance.

## Discussion

Discussion An equivalent range must be representable as a closed range. For example, passing an empty range as other triggers a runtime error, because an empty range cannot be represented by a closed range instance.
