Check if int is between two numbers

Question

Why can\'t do you this if you try to find out whether an int is between to numbers:

if(10 < x < 20)

Instead of it, you\'ll have to do

Answer 1

The inconvenience of typing 10 < x && x < 20 is minimal compared to the increase in language complexity if one would allow 10 < x < 20, so the designers of the Java language decided against supporting it.
