Range within a range

Ruby
1

Is there a way to check if a range is within the boundaries of another
range?

(1…10) === (3…6) => return false

I know I could re-open the range class and write a method that loops
through and checks with include? like this?

class Range
def range_included?(range)
range.each do |n|
if !self.include(n)
return false
end
end
true
end
end

but just wanted to see if there was something cleaner.

Ruby has a Set class which has a subset?() method. The Set
constructor can take a range as an argument.

You certainly wouldn’t have to loop through all the elements of a range
to determine if it is included in another range. All you have
to do is look at the end points–that’s two comparisons for any sized
range.
