I am ridiculously proud of this little bit of code:
data Range a = Range a a
between :: (Num a, Eq a, Ord a) => a -> Range a -> Bool
between a (Range b c) = a > b && a < c
betweenl :: (Num a, Eq a, Ord a) => a -> Range a -> Bool
betweenl a (Range b c) = a >= b && a < c
betweenr :: (Num a, Eq a, Ord a) => a -> Range a -> Bool
betweenr a (Range b c) = a > b && a <= c
betweenBoth :: (Num a, Eq a, Ord a) => a -> Range a -> Bool
betweenBoth a (Range b c) = a >= b && a <= c
Results in:
27.0 `between` Range 15.0 40.0 => True
90 `between` Range 15 40 => False
15 `betweenl` Range 15 40 => True
40.0 `betweenr` Range 15.0 40.0 => True
0.0 `betweenBoth` Range 0.0 1.0 => True
2.0 `between` Range 0.0 1.0 => False
