How can I optimize the following line (for fasmg):

Code:

if (num > 0 & num < 65536) | (num < 32768 & num >= -32768)

P.S. not knowing num bit length (num can be 32 or 64 or whatever number of bits)

These are two overlapping intervals. The "or" condition is like an union of these intervals, so this is equivalent to:

Code:

if num < 65536 & num >= -32768

Indeed, it's so obvious. I just overthought it too much. Thanks
