Your complicating things way to much

if(q.value < 1 || q.value > 5){
qc.value += "Please enter a number between 1 and 5\n";
}

the || is equivalent to OR, you can also use && instead of AND

Actually, I just need help with the correct syntax for the following:

if ( valueRange(q.value.value < 1 or > 5) )
{
qc.value += "Please enter a number between 1 and 5\n";

}

How do you wright if value is between 1 and 5? would the above code work if I had the correct operator?

Is it just one number they are entering? (e.g. "3," "4.25839," or "8")
Or do you want to check each number in a string of numbers? (e.g. "34352," "1232.513," "32299084")
Or do you want to check the numbers amongst a string of text? (e.g. "I have 3 apples," "I have 4.25 dollars," "I have 4259 paper clips.")

If it's the first one, I would do something very simple:

if (varName>=1 && varName<=5) {
  ...execute action
}
else {
  ...execute other action
}

For the others, the situation would require use of the split() function and I would rather wait to see your answer to code it out.
