Java int array incremented with start and end points

I need an array that takes a given int (x) that is the starting number and then count up to a bigger number (y) Any ideas?

    int x = 5;
    int y  = 10;
    int b     = y - x;
    int[] a   = new int[b];

    for (int i=0; i<b; i++) {
        a[i] = i;
        System.out.println(a);
    }
    //Should be:  a = {5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
    //I get the right length array but not the right vaules

Assignment a[i] = i assigns values 0,1,2.. to the array elements. Instead, we need to start from min value (5 in this case). We can do it by declaring anoter variable and incrementing it in the loop (so that the value of original argument won't change) like below:

int start = x;
for (int i=0; i<b; i++) {
        a[i] = start++;
        System.out.println(a);
    }
