Gilles Sadowski commented on NUMBERS-195:
-----------------------------------------
I understand that the idea is to have a generalized check, but where would it
be used?
Within an algorithm that deals with a known type (e.g. {{double}}), why would
one use
{code}
if (ArithmeticUtils.isBetween(x, a, b)) {
// ...
}
{code}
instead of
{code}
if (x >= a &&
x <= b) {
// ...
}
{code}
?
The performance hit of
* 3 autoboxing
* 3 conversions to string
* 3 creations of {{BigDecimal}}
* 2 method calls
* 3 boolean operations
would be a no-go.
