Re: Finding an interval in a sorted array?

without resorting to indices? (I’m drawing a blank.)

Here’s my solution. It may be naive, but it passes your tests:

class Array
def interval_containing(num)
return [max] if num >= self.max
return [min] if num <= self.min
values_at((num.floor)…(num.ceil))
end
end
