Re: [Tutor] check_range

[Kent Johnson]

You misunderstand what range() does. It returns a list of numbers starting with the lower one and up 
to but not including the upper one:
>>> range(5)
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> range(5, 10)
[5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

To test for a number in a range you can use 10 < n < 90:
>>> x = 1
>>> 10 < x < 90
False
>>> x = 15
>>> 10 < x < 90
True
>>> x = 100
>>> 10 < x < 90
False

Hi all,
I am fairly new to both Python & programming, and am attempting to 
create a function that will test whether some user input is an integer 
between 10 and 89, but the check isn't happening...

def check_range(myrange):
    if range(myrange) != range(10,89):
        return "False"
    else:
        return "True"
...this gets called later via:
        if check_range(input):
            done = "True"
                return int(input)
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
