Description

I've using Ranges recently and found then insufficent in methods.
I cand check if my numbers is in the Range or not but I cant check on which side of the Range it is.
This is my idea:

Range range = new Range(0,5);

boolean outsided = range.leftOfInteger(-5);
outsided equals true
boolean outsided = range.leftOfInteger(5);
outsided equals tfase

same applies for rightOf

another convenience method would be:

create 3 final static int field:

Range.LEFT_OF = -1;
Range.INSIDE = 0;
Range.RIGHT_OF = 1;

range.positionOfInteger(-2) returns LEFT_OF
and so forth

it is some refactoring of contains and the upper methods.

it would increase functionality
