Do the values from x fall between the left and right bounds?

between() utilizes data.table::between() in the background

between(x, left, right)

Arguments

x

A numeric vector

left, right

Boundary values

Examples

df <- data.table(
  x = 1:5,
  y = 1:5
)

# Typically used in a filter()
df %>%
  filter(between(x, 2, 4))
#> # A tidytable: 3 × 2
#>       x     y
#>   <int> <int>
#> 1     2     2
#> 2     3     3
#> 3     4     4

df %>%
  filter(x %>% between(2, 4))
#> # A tidytable: 3 × 2
#>       x     y
#>   <int> <int>
#> 1     2     2
#> 2     3     3
#> 3     4     4

# Can also use the %between% operator
df %>%
  filter(x %between% c(2, 4))
#> # A tidytable: 3 × 2
#>       x     y
#>   <int> <int>
#> 1     2     2
#> 2     3     3
#> 3     4     4
