PHP Enhancing a Simple PHP Application Paginating a List: Controller Adjusting Invalid Numbers

stage 7 challenge 1

The $numbers array in the code below contains one thousand numbers. I need to count how many of these numbers fit into each of the following categories: (a) how many of them are between 1 and 1000 inclusive, (b) how many of them are less than 1, and (c) how many of them are greater than 1000. I have created a foreach loop to look at each number one after the other, but right now it’s treating every number like it belongs in all three categories. Modify the code below so that the counts are correct.

controller.php
<?php

require_once('model.php');
$numbers = get_numbers();



    $count_less_than_one           = 0;
    $count_between_one_and_thousand = 0;
    $count_greater_than_thousand    = 0;

    foreach ($numbers as $number) {
      if($number < 1){
        $count_less_than_one += 1;
      }
      if(1 < $number < 1000){
        $count_between_one_and_thousand += 1;
      }
      if($number > 1000){
        $count_greater_than_thousand += 1;
      }

    }



include('view.php');

?>

Hi,

Almost close, notice something missing here, remember to add another number variable with greater than or equal to 1

if(1 < $number < 1000){

should be this

if ($number >= 1 && $number <= 1000) {

I hope that helps.
