RE: [Boost-users] Interval Library?

My apologies everyone, I guess I wasn't very clear of what I was hoping that
the function Foo would return.

If I have the interval {2, 6, 10, 14, 18 }, I would like Foo(N) to return
the value in the interval that is >= N, but less than the max value in the
interval.  I am looking over my examples, and I think a typo of mine clouded
the issue as well.. 

i.Foo(2) == 2
i.Foo(6) == 6 <-- Should have been 6, I erroneously typed 2 on my previous
message
i.Foo(0) == 2
i.Foo(18) == 18
i.Foo(20) == 18
i.Foo(5) == 6
i.Foo(3) == 6

Thanks,
David Brownell

I think std::valarray<> has something like this.

I think the val-array slice goes "start, length, stride", so the values for
the slice object would be (2, 5, 4).

[TRUNCATE]

What problem are you trying to solve?  Also, I can't see any pattern for the
"Foo" function.
