It's a chained comparison. It applies to '<', '<=', '>', '>=', '=='
and '!=', but also to 'in', although I've never seen a chained
comparison using 'in' in practice.
Me either. In fact, I was as stumped as the OP. I've never really
considered "in" as a comparison; in my mind comparisons are between like
items: numbers vs numbers, and so forth. Not elements versus a
collection of elements.
Can someone show me a real world, or failing that - sane looking,
chained comparison using "in"?
