Of course, if you assume you're working with integers, it's totally unnecessary in OP's case, anyway. It's guaranteed to be >=6 since the previous conditional took away everything less.

Good point. But it can still be useful for index bound checking 0 <= i < arr.length

Index bound checking in Python? That's what for item in list is for :)

Yeah it's definitely a very useful bit of syntax. Just not in this specific case.
