## Price Ranges

_Quiz description by James Edward Gray II_

You have a list of price ranges from different vendors like:

    Company A:  $1,000 - $3,000
    Company B:  $6,000 - $10,000
    Company C:  $500 - $2,500

Given such a list and the desired price range a shopper wishes to pay,
return the companies the shopper should examine. For example, if the
shopper's price range was:

    Low:   $2,500
    High:  $5,000

the companies returned would be:

    Company A
    Company C

The shopper should also be allowed to provide just a low or just a high
value instead of both, should they prefer to do so.
