Just a little mathematic question

[lcl]

So, is there a simpler way to check if value is between two values than:

Code: Select all

if (value >= -10 && value <= 10)

Where 'value' is the changing value and - 10 and 10 are the limits which I want to check it being in between of.
I'm trying to find a shorter way to write it but I can't come up with anything.

I think there must be some easy solution which I just can't figure out right now.
Thanks in advance! =)

Code: Select all

if (abs(value)<10)

DST beat me to it ^^

[lcl]

Oh, thanks, that's way too easy

But how about when the limiters are not opposite numbers?

[SuperSonic]

In that case, I think you'd have to use the long method

[lcl]

Yeah..maybe
I just think to have seen something similar to what DST offered in a way I need it.
I think it was some code of skydereigns.
But it might be that I remember wrong.

In that case, I think you'd have to use the long method

if(abs(value-((max+min)/2)))<=max-((max+min)/2))

so if your max is 10 and minimum is -6

if(abs(value-2)<=8)

Thanks GaG! =D
