For such a small set I'd say that's as good as it gets. However if there
were 100 intervals you could try the following:
function f( $n )
{
$map = array
(
// min, max, f
array( 0, 4, 1 ),
array( 5, 7, 2 ),
array( 8, 12, 3 ),
array( 17, null, 4 ),
);
foreach( $map as $criteria )
{
if( $criteria[0] === null || $n > $criteria[0]
&&
$criteria[1] === null || $n <= $criteria[1] )
{
return $criteria[2];
}
}
return null;
}
I think your code is flawed by the way, the lower endpoints are only
compared for greater than value and not equal to value meaning $n with
value 4 would not match any f value.
Cheers,
Rob.
