Exploring Range Operators

Range operators allow you to represent a range of values. Let’s say you want to represent a sequence of numbers starting with firstNumber and ending with lastNumber. You don’t need to specify every value; you can just specify the range in this way:

firstNumber...lastNumber

Imagine you need to write a program for a department store that automatically sends a discount voucher to customers between the ages of 18 and 30. It would be very cumbersome if you needed to set up an if or switch statement for each age. It’s much more convenient to use a range operator in this case.
