What is Range.contains in Java?

How to import `Range`

The definition of Range can be found in the Apache Commons Lang package. We can add this package to the Maven project by adding the following dependency to the pom.xml file:

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
            <artifactId>commons-lang3</artifactId>
            <version>3.12.0</version>
</dependency>

For other versions of the commons-lang package, refer to the Maven Repository.

You can import the Range class using the following command:

import org.apache.commons.lang3.Range;

Syntax

public boolean contains(final T element)

Parameters

final T element: The element to check.

Return value

This method returns true if the element is within the bounds of the range object. Otherwise, it returns false.

import org.apache.commons.lang3.Range;
public class Main{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int fromValue = 100;
        int toValue = 200;
        Range<Integer> range = Range.between(fromValue, toValue);
        System.out.printf("Range object - %s\n", range);
        // Example 1
        int valueToCheck = 4;
        System.out.printf("%s in [%s, %s] = %s", valueToCheck, fromValue, toValue, range.contains(valueToCheck));
        System.out.println();
        // Example 2
        valueToCheck = 150;
        System.out.printf("%s in [%s, %s] = %s", valueToCheck, fromValue, toValue, range.contains(valueToCheck));
    }
}
