Checks if the given number falls within the given range.

Use arithmetic comparison to check if the given number is in the specified range. If the second parameter, end, is not specified, the range is considered to be from 0 to start.

def in_range(n, start, end = 0):
  if (start > end):
    end, start = start, end
  return start <= n <= end

in_range(3, 2, 5); # True
in_range(3, 4); # True
in_range(2, 3, 5); # False
in_range(3, 2); # False
