void range_check(int array_len, int from_index, int to_index) {

     if (from_index > to_index) throw illegal argument error;

     if (from_index < 0) throw out of bounds error;

     if (to_index > array_len) throw out of bounds error;

}

If you're a programmer, how many times have you written something like this over and over?

The answer probably is... lots.

And if anyone is wondering why there aren't 9 lines here, it's because the original was 9 lines, but only three statements like above. And, one of the 9 lines was just a closing brace.

So really, this is about a function header and three if statements.
