From: Jari Williamsson Date: 2007-12-16T09:15:45+09:00 Subject: Automatic Range? Problem is simple: I want to know if an integer is within the range of x and y. However, I don't automatically know which of x & y is the largest. Ruby accepts ranges like (5..2), although there seems to be no real use for them. Anyway, is it possible to automatically create a "valid range", or is this kind of solution the best one? range = x < y ? (x..y) : (y..x) Best regards, Jari Williamsson
