Thanks for your help.

"The program can be used interactively from within the notebook" "The program can be used interactively without leaving the area/scope of the notebook" = the program is in the notebook (from) and you use the notebook to interact with it (within) It is to say how easy is to use the program, but in my opinion not very successfully.

  • "The program can be used interactively from within the notebook" "The program can be used interactively without leaving the area/scope of the notebook" = the program is in the notebook (from) and you use the notebook to interact with it (within) It is to say how easy is to use the program, but in my opinion not very successfully.

I too have serious reservation about this usage.

It means the user must be located inside the notebook in order to exercise/use the program interactively, which is plain non-sense. As humans, we can't be located inside a computer, we're not gnomes

I need to verify a timing happened within 10 to 20 milliseconds.

So should I consider 10 and 20 along with the intermediate values or I should exclude 10 and 20 and should consider values greater than 10 and less than 20

Clarify on this?

Hi,

Without any more context, I'd include 10 and 20.

But if it's extremely important, I'd check by asking for clarification.
