Abstract

A circuit and a method of examining in a microprocessor a section of a first range of values and a second range of values each comprising a lower boundary value and an upper boundary value is disclosed. The method includes examining whether a value of the first range of values is equal to or greater than the lower boundary value of the second range of values, and examining whether the lower boundary value of the first range of values is smaller than or equal to the upper boundary value of the second range of values.
