Wrap it in a function if you like:

in_interval <- function(x, interval){
  stopifnot(length(interval) == 2L)
  interval[1] < x & x < interval[2]
}

in_interval(a, c(15, 20))


Could just use the findInterval function:

findInterval(x, c(15,20) ) == 1

findInterval returns a numeric vector indicating which bin(s) the argument vector element(s) fall(s) into. Items below the lower bound get a zero which means if the result is used as an index the there will be no item chosen for that value. Items above the maximal boundary get a value of n+1 where n is the number of bins. (Very useful function.)

could you please give me some pointers on how I could make R screen for a value if it falls within a certain range? I looked at the subset function, but is not doing it, perhaps because I only have 1 value to screen?

aptreciate the input

ex:
a <-16.5
I would like to screen to see if a is within the range of 15 to 20, (which it is:-)), and I would like the code to return a value of 1 if a is within the specified range or 0 if it is not.
