syntax- [1 to 100]

[Regimos]

I've tried a bunch of different methods, but none seem to work. How exactly do you code

if (blah == (1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 ... 100))
without typing out the whole thing?

Thanks for any help.

You could do something like:
if(blah >= 1 && blah <= 100)

That will work if blah is an int or a uint. It'll also work if it's a Number and you know that you won't have non-integer values like 2.5, or if you don't care if those are included in the range.

Ahaha, how did I miss the simplest solution there was? I assumed there was some sort of syntax for it, but this works too. Thanks.

Some other languages have a syntax for ranges, like Ruby, but even in those languages I would probably still use comparison operators instead because it seems like there's a lot more overhead when creating a range and the code clarity difference isn't huge.


>> (1..100).member? 5
=> true
>> (1..100).member? 500
=> false
