How to check whether datetime is within range

This is the code:

>> C = strsplit('02.02.1957-13.02.1957','-')

C1=datetime(C{1},'InputFormat','dd.MM.yyyy')

C2=datetime(C{2},'InputFormat','dd.MM.yyyy')

C =

1×2 cell array

{'02.02.1957'} {'13.02.1957'}

C1 =

datetime

02-Feb-1957

C2 =

datetime

13-Feb-1957

Now, I would like to know, if e.g. '03.02.1957' is within '02.02.1957-13.02.1957'. Ist there a simple function for this? For 13.02.1957 the value should also be "true".

Thank you!

There are several ways to do this, all using logical indexing. The easiest way is with the isbetween function.

C = strsplit('02.02.1957-13.02.1957','-');

C1=datetime(C{1},'InputFormat','dd.MM.yyyy');
C2=datetime(C{2},'InputFormat','dd.MM.yyyy');

Query = datetime('03.02.1957','InputFormat','dd.MM.yyyy');

TF = isbetween(Query, C1, C2)

TF = logical
   1

So ‘Query’ is in the interval!
