Question

I want to read values from Properties file as a range of values.
My Task is, calculating result based on points gained.
for example,points are,

<100 : some result.
101 - 110 : Some result.
111 - 120 : Some result.
121 - 130 : some result.
.....
.....
991 - 1000 : some result.
>1000 : some result.

Is any way of storing and getting result from Properties file instead of placing [key,value] pair from 1 to 1000, because i may get float values also?
should i have to write if else statements for all possible conditions?

Answer 1

I would use an Array

String[] results = "<100,<100,<100,<100,<100,<100,<100,<100,<100,<100,result101-110,result111-120, etc".split(",");

String result = results[(value-1)/10];

Or you can use a NavigableMap if the ranges vary

NavigableMap<Double, String> map = ...
String result = map.higherEntry(value).getValue();

In which case the format could be upper-limit result

100 some result.
110 Some result.
120 Some result.
130 some result.
.....
.....
1000 Some result.
Infinity some result.
