Question

I have a method that will return a number between 1 – 100

depending on whether the response (x) is between
100 – 90 i would like one response, 89 – 85 another 84 – 72 another … etc

I use

if x > 90
 response a
elsif x > 85
 response b
elsif etc...

but this seems a little messy, is there a better way of refactoring this?

Many thanks.

Answer 1

Take advantage of Range#=== and use a case statement:

case x
when 72..84
  # Do something
when 85..89
  # Do something
when 90..100
  # Do something
else
  # Do something when no matches
end
