inrange
Inrange is a term used in programming and mathematics to denote that a numeric value lies within a defined interval. It typically refers to a predicate or function that evaluates whether a value satisfies specified boundary conditions.
Variants of inrange describe different boundary inclusions. A common form is inclusive, where the lower and
Typical uses of inrange include input validation, constraint checking, iterative pruning in algorithms, and ensuring values
Common approaches are language-agnostic. A simple inclusive version in pseudocode might be:
function inrange(x, lower, upper) return (lower <= x) and (x <= upper)
A variant for exclusive bounds would be:
function inrange_exclusive(x, lower, upper) return (lower < x) and (x < upper)
In some libraries, the concept is exposed as inRange, InRange, or a similar predicate or helper, with
