Series from For loop (is there a repository for Integer Sequences?)

Excellent! But how come you can have:

This does not work for me. How can I get just the sequence as you have it and not:

[0] 3
[1] 5
[2] 7
[3] 9
[4] 3
[5] 5
[6] 7
[7] 9

int[] testsequence;

// first parameter is number of repetitions
// second parameter is lo
// third parameter is hi
// fourth parameter is step

void setup() {
  testsequence = int_series_repeated(2, 3, 9, 2);
  //println(testsequence);
  exit();
}

int[] int_series_repeated(int n, int lo, int hi, int step) {

  int inc;
  if (step != 0) {
    inc = abs(step);
  } else {
    inc = 1;
  }

  int dir;
  if (lo < hi) {
    dir = 1 * inc;
  } else {
    dir = -1 * inc;
  }

  int qty = abs(hi - lo)/ inc + 1;
  int len = abs(n) * qty;
  int seq[] = new int[len];
  for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
    seq[i] = i % qty * dir + lo;
    println(seq[i]);  // here during testing
  }

  return seq;
}
