How to show the negative values when generating a range of numbers between 2 numbers in c programming

The task is to ask a user to input 2 values (say m and n) wherein these values may be positive or negative. The program should generate the numbers from n to m such that the interval is 1. Ex, if m = -3 and n = 4, the numbers generated are -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, however when i use my code, it will only show the positive values. Thank you!

int
main ()
{
    int m, n, i; 
    scanf("%d%d", &m, &n);

    for ( i = 0; i <= m || i <= n; i++)
        printf("%d", i);

    return 0;
}

int
main ()
{
    int m, n, i; 
    scanf("%d%d", &m, &n);

    for ( i = m; i <= n; i++)
        printf("%d ", i);

    return 0;
}

Assuming that m is the lower boundary, you have to start your loop from i=m.

Try this:

int m, n, i, min, max;
scanf("%d%d", &m, &n);
if (m < n) {
    min = m;
    max = n;
}
else {
    min = n;
    max = m;
}

for (i = min; i <= max; i++)
    printf("%d", i);
