Explanation

A range check validates that a numeric input falls within a predefined acceptable range (minimum and maximum values). Unlike type checks (data type validation), presence checks (required fields), or consistency checks (cross-field logic), range checks specifically verify that a number is within specified bounds - for example, ensuring age is between 0 and 120 or percentage between 0 and 100.
