How do modify the inclusion/exclusion behavior of Boundary values in the Range function?

Question

Part1:
I have a dictionary as:

mydict = {'K': {'VAL1': 'apple', 'VAL2': (60, 80)},
          'L': {'VAL1': 'mango', 'VAL2': (90, 100)},
          'M': {'VAL1': 'pears', 'VAL2': (120, 150)}}

rto = tuple(range(60,80))    # works
rto = tuple(range(mydict['K']['VAL2']))
TypeError: range() integer end argument expected, got list.

How do I make this work, i wana iterate through the dictionary ??

Part2:
Assuming the above can work, I want to check if a value is in the range:

my_value = 70        
rto = tuple(range(60,80))
if my_value in rto :
    print("Value is in range")
else:
    print("Value not in range")

# Output:   
# 70- Value is in range  
# 20- Value not in range  
# 60- Value is in range  
# 80- Value not in range  
# (This tells me that the range function includes 60 and excludes 80 from the 
# test)

How can I manipulate the boundary conditions for the test? Meaning either:
Include both 60 and 80.
Exclude both 60 or 80.
Include either one.

Answer 1

I don’t think you need to create a range, since you can run a check between the values to get your solution.

The code below uses the less than and greater than operator to find if the my_value exists between the tuples:

 for i in [j['VAL2'] for i,j in mydict.items()]:
    if i[0] <= my_value <= i[-1]:
        print(f'{i},{my_value} value is in range')
    else:
        print(f'{i},{my_value} value is not in range')

You can do this for the dict. See here.

rto = tuple(range(*mydict['K']['VAL2']))
