Actually there is a solution without loops. But it not as nice as a looping
solution (for, while, until, ...). You can use recursive functions as a loop-
replacement. But it's not as easy as a for-loop.
## recursive function
expand() {
(( $1 < 0 )) && return
print -n "$(expand $(($1 - 1))) ($((3 * $1 + 1)):$((3 * $1 + 3)))"
}
## call recursive function
expand 20
