    Beginner if/switch question

    Hi, I've been wondering, what syntax would you use to check an if or switch statement against a range of values, instead of just one? For example, how would I check to see if an entered value is between, say, 5 and 25 instead of just checking each number individually? I'm still really new to everything and I've been curious of this for a while, but haven't been able to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    If a number is greater than or equal to 5, and less than or equal to 25, then it's between 5 and 25.
    Code:
    //try
    //{
    	if (a) do { f( b); } while(1);
    	else   do { f(!b); } while(1);
    //}

    Use the || and &&
    Code:
    if(value >= 5 && value <= 25){}
