PROBLEM:

There are N bowling balls, the i-th has weight A_i.
Chef can use a ball if its weight is between X and Y, inclusive.
How many of the N balls are usable by Chef?

EXPLANATION:

Simply loop through all the balls and count the number of them that satisfy the given condition on weights.

That is, initialize the answer to 0, and then for each i from 1 to N, add 1 to the answer if X \leq A_i \leq Y.
Print the answer after the loop.

TIME COMPLEXITY:

\mathcal{O}(N) per testcase.

CODE:

Editorialist's code (PyPy3)
for _ in range(int(input())):
    n, x, y = map(int, input().split())
    a = list(map(int, input().split()))
    
    ans = 0
    for i in range(n):
        ans += x <= a[i] <= y
    print(ans)
