I'm missing something here, and cannot see the problem:
x='1'
(1..5).include? x.to_i # => true
But...
x='1'
case
when x =='0'
puts '0'
when (1..5).include? x.to_i
puts '1'
end
...won't even compile. Can someone tell me why? (and maybe how to fix it...)
What I'm having to do is this, which works:
…
when ((1,5).to_a & [x.to_i]).length > 0 # <-- ERROR CORRECTED
…
but it seems over-wrought.

x='1'
case

puts '0'
when (1..5).include? x.to_i
puts '1'
end
When in doubt, parenthesise :
case
?> when x == '0'
puts '0'
when (1..5).include?(x.to_i)
puts '1'
end

Seconded. You could also have said:
when ((1..5).include? x.to_i)
In ruby, parenthesis are optional.... except when they aren't.

Fred, Matt,
Yeah. It was amazing how many problems I just solved with a few parentheses. Yikes! No syntactic sugar here...but the code's working, so all's well.
Thanks so much for the quick, accurate diagnosis.
