Determine if a number falls within a specified set of ranges

Question

I\'m looking for a fluent way of determining if a number falls within a specified set of ranges. My current code looks something like this:

int x = 500; // Could         


        

Answer 1

I personally prefer the extension method suggested by @Anton - but if you can't do that, and are going to stick with your current code, I think you could make it more readable by reversing the first set of conditions on each line as follows...

int x = 500; // Could be any number
if ( ( 4199 < x && x < 6800 ) ||
     ( 6999 < x && x < 8200 ) ||
     ( 9999 < x && x < 10100 ) ||
     ( 10999 < x && x < 11100 ) ||
     ( 11999 < x && x < 12100 ) )
{
    // More awesome code
}
