Checking if a number is between two number in a table

[himynamemate (Bew)]

Basically the title, I am trying to check if a number is between two value in a table.

local Numbers = {
	0,
	27.5,
	55,
	82.5,
	110
}
local GivenNumber = 30

---How do I tell the script the given number is between 27.5 and 55?

Try this:

for i = 2, #Numbers do
if GivenNumber >= Numbers[i-1] and GivenNumber < Numbers[i] then
print("given number is between "..Numbers[i-1].." and "..Numbers[i]
end
end

local Numbers = {
	0,
	27.5,
	55,
	82.5,
	110
}
local GivenNumber = 101
local lowerIndex, upperIndex

for i = 1, #Numbers - 1 do
	if GivenNumber > Numbers[i] and GivenNumber < Numbers[i + 1] then
		lowerIndex = i
		upperIndex = i + 1
		break
	end
end

if lowerIndex and upperIndex then
	print("GivenNumber is between:", Numbers[lowerIndex], "and", Numbers[upperIndex])
else
	print("GivenNumber is not between any two numbers in the table, it is", GivenNumber)
end

Cool loop, nice and totally crazy looking.
But it works great both ways. (old school)

targetNumber = 30

for i, v in numbers do
nextNumber = numbers[i + 1]
if nextNumber and (v <= targetNumber and targetNumber <= nextNumber) then
print(str(targetNumber).. " is between ".. str(v).. " and ".. str(nextNumber))
break
end
end
