x within y    within[x;y]

Where

• x is an atom or list of sortable type/s
• y is an ordered pair (i.e. (<). y is true), or the flip of a list of ordered pairs of the same count and type/s as x, the result is a boolean for each item of x indicating whether it is within the inclusive bounds given by y.

111b
q)(1 3 10 6 4;"acyxmpu") within ((2;"b");(6;"r"))
