Hi,
I don't know what the question really is, may be she asks for a algorythm ? Then i think she show's, that she has $a_min, $a_max, $b_min and $b_max and that $a LE $b means (($a_min LE $b_min) & ($a_max LE $b_min) ) , that is how i would compare ranges .

Mornin, how are you getting those ranges? From a database using the DBI module or from a text file etc? ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
