------------------------------------------------

             Summary: Add a method in Interval that verifies if a double is 
inside the Interval
                 Key: MATH-889
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-889
             Project: Commons Math
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 3.0
            Reporter: Ramiro Pereira de Magalhães
            Priority: Minor


It would be convenient if class 
org.apache.commons.math3.geometry.euclidean.oned.Interval had a method such as 
the one below.

{code}
Here is the method code that may be added to the class.
    /** Verifies if x is inside this Interval.
     * @return true if x is a value between this Interval lower and upper
     * bounds, false otherwise
     */
    public double contains(double x) {
        return upper >= x && lower <= x;
    }
{code}

Notice that I'm assuming that an Interval includes its endpoints which may not 
be true in certain applications. This may imply the need to improve the 
Interval class (by adding methods or internal state) that describe the 
inclusion or exclusion of endpoints.
