Math Illogic

[cGuru]

I just wanted to be sure that both of these statements are equivalent:

    if (b*1.25>=d>1.05)
    {
            // Do stuff
    }

is the same thing as:

    if (b*1.25>=d && d>1.05)
    {
            // Do stuff
    }

right? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

They are not equivalent.

// if( ( (b*1.25) is greater than d ) and ( d is greater than 1.05 ) )
if (b*1.25>=d && d>1.05)
{
     // do stuff
}

// if( false ) // (b*125 >= d ) is either true (1) or false (0)
if (b*1.25>=d>1.05)  // neither 1 nor 0 is greater than 1.05
{
     // do stuff
}
