lower and upper limit problem

  • 12 years ago

    I have a table with 3 columns as follows:

    lower   upper     id
    12       20      100
    100      150     200


    I want to select range of numbers based on lower and upper column.
    For example I want to display numbers between 12 to 20 or from 100 to 150.
    How to do it. thanks in advance.

     Well, your first step will be to pull out the lower and upper column values... how you do this will depend on where your data is stored! Say for instance, this is in a database and you're using a DataReader...

    int lower = (int)dataReader["lower"];
    int upper = (int)dataReader["upper"]

    and then you can build up your list:

    List<int> values = new List<int>();
    for(int i = lower; i<=upper; i++)
       values.Add(i);

    your values list will now have all the numers you need? :)
