Is there a shorthand for smaller than AND greater than, in C#?

Question

Is there a shorthand for this:

bool b = (x > 0) && (x < 5);

Something like:

bool b = 0 < x < 5;

In C#?

Answer 1

Nope. But you can remove brackets:

bool b = 0 < x && x < 5

or play with math:

bool b = x*x < 5*x

Answer 2

Latest C# Allow this pattern:

    var counter = Random.Shared.Next(0,5);
    if (counter is > 0 and < 5)
    {
      //Do logic
    }
