Methods

IsBetween<T>(T, T, T, bool)

Checks if a comparable value is between two bounds. Uses Min<T>(T, T) and Max<T>(T, T) to determine the actual min/max regardless of parameter order. Then uses the comparison extension methods for readable and consistent logic.

public static bool IsBetween<T>(this T value, T bound1, T bound2, bool inclusive = true) where T : IComparable<T>

Parameters

value T

The value to check

bound1 T

First boundary value (can be min or max)

bound2 T

Second boundary value (can be min or max)

inclusive bool

Whether to include the boundaries in the range (default: true)

Returns

bool

True if the value is between the bounds; false otherwise

Type Parameters

T

Any type that implements IComparable<T>

Examples

var isInRange = 5.IsBetween(1, 10);        // true (inclusive by default)
var isInRange = 5.IsBetween(10, 1);        // true (order doesn't matter)
var isInRange = 5.IsBetween(1, 5, false);  // false (exclusive)
var isInRange = 5.IsBetween(1, 5, true);   // true (inclusive)

IsGreaterThanOrEqual<T>(T, T)

Checks if the current value is greater than or equal to another comparable value. Provides a more readable alternative to value.CompareTo(other) >= 0.

public static bool IsGreaterThanOrEqual<T>(this T value, T other) where T : IComparable<T>

Parameters

value T

The value to compare

other T

The value to compare against

Returns

bool

True if value is greater than or equal to other; false otherwise

Type Parameters

T

Any type that implements IComparable<T>

Examples

var isGreaterOrEqual = 10.IsGreaterThanOrEqual(5);  // true
var isGreaterOrEqual = 5.IsGreaterThanOrEqual(5);   // true (equal)
var isGreaterOrEqual = 3.IsGreaterThanOrEqual(7);   // false

IsGreaterThan<T>(T, T)

Checks if the current value is greater than another comparable value. Provides a more readable alternative to value.CompareTo(other) > 0.

public static bool IsGreaterThan<T>(this T value, T other) where T : IComparable<T>

Parameters

value T

The value to compare

other T

The value to compare against

Returns

bool

True if value is greater than other; false otherwise

Type Parameters

T

Any type that implements IComparable<T>

Examples

var isGreater = 10.IsGreaterThan(5);  // true
var isGreater = 3.IsGreaterThan(7);   // false
var isGreater = 5.IsGreaterThan(5);   // false (not greater, equal)

IsLessThanOrEqual<T>(T, T)

Checks if the current value is less than or equal to another comparable value. Provides a more readable alternative to value.CompareTo(other) <= 0.

public static bool IsLessThanOrEqual<T>(this T value, T other) where T : IComparable<T>

Parameters

value T

The value to compare

other T

The value to compare against

Returns

bool

True if value is less than or equal to other; false otherwise

Type Parameters

T

Any type that implements IComparable<T>

Examples

var isLessOrEqual = 3.IsLessThanOrEqual(7);   // true
var isLessOrEqual = 5.IsLessThanOrEqual(5);   // true (equal)
var isLessOrEqual = 10.IsLessThanOrEqual(5);  // false

IsLessThan<T>(T, T)

Checks if the current value is less than another comparable value. Provides a more readable alternative to value.CompareTo(other) < 0.

public static bool IsLessThan<T>(this T value, T other) where T : IComparable<T>

Parameters

value T

The value to compare

other T

The value to compare against

Returns

bool

True if value is less than other; false otherwise

Type Parameters

T

Any type that implements IComparable<T>

Examples

var isLess = 3.IsLessThan(7);   // true
var isLess = 10.IsLessThan(5);  // false
var isLess = 5.IsLessThan(5);   // false (not less, equal)
