Prototype Ranges represent an interval of values. The preferred way to obtain a range is to use the $R utility function.
You can create a big range of values using a simple syntax as follows:
$R(1, 10).inspect(); $R('a', 'e').inspect(); |
This will produce following result:
['1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10'] ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'] |
This method determines whether the value is included in the range:
Range.include(value); |
<html> <head> <title>Prototype examples</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="/javascript/prototype.js"> </script> <script> function showResult() { alert ( "Test 1 : " + $R(1, 10).include(5)); // Returns true alert ( "Test 2 : " + $R('a', 'h').include('x')); // Returns flase } </script> </head> <body> <p>Click the button to see the result.</p> <br /> <br /> <input type="button" value="Result" onclick="showResult();"/> </body> </html> |
To understand it in better way you can Try it yourself.
