Why is a condition like (0 < a < 5) always true?

Question

I implemented the following program in C

    #include 
    int main() 
    {
       int a  = 10 ; 
       if(0 < a < 5) 
       {
               


        

Answer 1

Because 0 < a evaluates to 1.

Use:

a > 0 && a < 5

if you want to test if a is greater than 0 and lower than 5.
