Hi.

I agree with sdf, the extra 2 lines appear. The alternate statements:
Code:
if($0 >= i+0 && $0 <= a[i]) # SUCCEEDS!
if($0 >= int(i) && $0 <= a[i]) # SUCCEEDS!

will both work. Of the two, I think the i+0 is a bit tricky, especially for people who don't know awk well, so I would choose int(i) and add a comment why it is required. Or perhaps add the int() to all 4 as elixir_sinari wrote and omit any confusing explanation. Good point about floats, however. I suppose one
could precondition all the data to truncate to integers, especially in this case ... cheers, drl
