If Then Range

[Bruce]

You can test various comparison equations with something like this. Just
compile each one separately.

X CON 10

Main:
    IF (X=5) or (X<=8) THEN   ' 30 words
    @ nop 
    ENDIF

X CON 10

Main:
    IF X => 5 THEN
       IF X < 9 THEN  ' 11 words
         @ nop
       ENDIF
    ENDIF

Then you could do something like this to save yet a few more words.

X CON 10

' Upper boundary # = 8
' Lower boundary # = 5
' Range = 4  (5,6,7,8)

' IF unknown value (X - lower range #) < range, it's in range.

Main:
    IF (X-5) < 4 THEN  ' 8 words
    @ nop
    ENDIF

Just place some heavy-duty comments in there so you don't forget what the
heck it's doing down-the-road...;o]

Hey Bruce,

Wow I had to look at that last example a couple times before it sunk in! But sure enough it does the trick with the least amount of code required. Bravo!

Bruce you rock. Between Bruce and Melanie they are PICBasic sages.
