About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

isBetween

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Test if a value is between two values.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/assert-is-between

Usage

var isBetween = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-between' );

isBetween( value, a, b[, left, right] )

Tests if a value is between two values a (left comparison value) and b (right comparison value).

var bool = isBetween( 4, 3, 5 );
// returns true

bool = isBetween( 2, 3, 5 );
// returns false

bool = isBetween( 6, 3, 5 );
// returns false

By default, the function assumes that a and b are inclusive.

var bool = isBetween( 3, 3, 5 );
// returns true

bool = isBetween( 3, 3, 5, 'closed', 'closed' );
// returns true

bool = isBetween( 5, 3, 5 );
// returns true

bool = isBetween( 5, 3, 5, 'closed', 'closed' );
// returns true

To make a and/or b exclusive, set the respective arguments to 'open'.

var bool = isBetween( 3, 3, 5, 'open', 'closed' );
// returns false

bool = isBetween( 5, 3, 5, 'closed', 'open' );
// returns false

Notes

  • If a and b are inclusive, the comparison is equivalent to

    a <= v <= b
    
  • If a is exclusive and b is inclusive, the comparison is equivalent to

    a < v <= b
    
  • If a is inclusive and b is exclusive, the comparison is equivalent to

    a <= v < b
    
  • If a and b are exclusive, the comparison is equivalent to

    a < v < b
    
  • If provided non-numeric values, comparisons are performed according to lexicographic order.

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var round = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-round' );
var isBetween = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-between' );

var bool;
var a;
var b;
var v;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    a = round( (randu()*10.0) + 5.0 );
    b = round( (randu()*10.0) + 15.0 );
    v = round( randu()*25.0 );
    bool = isBetween( v, a, b, 'open', 'closed' );
    console.log( '%d < %d <= %d: %s', a, v, b, bool.toString() );
}
