How to find if the number exists in a range?

[lilly07]

Basically, I want to check whether $x is in between $y and $z.

I always compare them with simple if statement as below.

if(($x > $y) && ($x < $z))
 

Any other way of doing this in a better manner available? Thanks.

That is a pretty acceptable way to do it, except I would change it to be the following:

if($x > $y && $x < $z)
 

You don't need all the excess parenthesis, just the one set. You are using the logical AND to separate the comparisons.

In case you are wondering if I tested this, here is the code I used to test it:

use strict;
use warnings;
 
my $x = 4;
my $y = 1;
my $z = 10;
 
if($x > $y && $x < $z){
     print("Yes\n");
}
else{
     print("No\n");
}

Use the between function from Acme::Tools

Those darn Acme tools. No wonder Wyle E. Coyote loves them so much. :)

I haven't used the Acme packages before. I will have to check this out as well. Hopefully it works for the OP.
