Again please comment, I do not understand off-hand what is the goal of this
code.

Just '-size', no space there.

Please comment the rules which range will be printed depending on SIZE.

Please comment the meaning/relationship of BEGIN and SIZE.

Comment whether END is inclusive or exclusive.

OK with the comments.
