Question

I have a decent grasp on Python which I thought would help me here but I guess I dont have the programmers mind set yet 🙂

I am tweaking an existing PHP script that does a check on a MSSQL Server. Our script runs a query and compares the result with an expected result. Here is part of the script:

    if ($query_result == $expected_result) {

I need to modify this so that if the query_result is within +1 or -1 of the expected_result, to return true. Maybe soemthing like this?:

    if ($query_result <=> $expected_result -+ 1) {

I can’t figure out how to properly write this 😛 All help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Answer 1

if (abs($query_result - $expected_result) <= 1) {
   ... they're within "1" of each other
}
