Abstract
A method for compiling executable code for execution on a computer includes: (a) receiving source code instructing the computer to execute an interval test to determine whether an interval defined by integers a and b encloses an integer x; (b) decomposing the interval test into a first comparison between the integer a and the integer x and a second comparison between the integer b and the integer x; and (c) returning instruction code directing the computer to evaluate the first and second comparisons cooperatively, at lower complexity than the combined complexities of the first and second comparisons enacted separately.
