CoffeeScript comparison range

The comparison range

Problem

If you want to know if a variable is within a given range.

Solution

Compare syntax using CoffeeScript's embellishments.

maxDwarfism = 147
minAcromegaly = 213

height = 180

normalHeight = maxDwarfism < height < minAcromegaly
# => true

Discuss

This is a great feature to draw from Python. With this feature, you don't have to write a complete comparison like this:

normalHeight = height > maxDwarfism && height < minAcromegaly

CoffeeScript is more intuitive by supporting two comparisons, like a comparison expression in writing math.
