Hi Jordy,

Thanks. This is my first checker and the patch I submitted is the result of a 
few iterations with Ted. Indeed I originally wrote it using equality and 
inequality as you suggested, but Ted recommended the approach used now:

So, we settled on (x <= 1) && (x >= 0) as you see in the patch.

Best,
Ryan
