Does in-equality operators work in comparison of two time format?

Hi all, I am wondering does in-equality operators such as <= >= works if I want to compare two time format? if not is there any solution for that?

my problem is that I have time threshold , say upp_lim= 21:43:12 and low_lim=21:44:12 and I have a sample_time time_e_rad(j,:)= 21:45:53 , which I want to check if it is in the range of Upp_lim and low_lim

here is my code:

if((datenum(time_e_rad(j,:)<datenum(upp_lim)))  &&  (datenum(time_e_rad(j,:)>=datenum(low_lim))))

but it gives me error.

any idea is appreciated .

You have your brackets in the wrong places.

 (datenum(time_e_rad(j,:))< datenum(upp_lim))  &&  (datenum(time_e_rad(j,:)) >= datenum(upp_lim))
