๐Ÿค” THE QUESTION

How can we validate that sensor readings and monetary values fall within realistic physical boundaries?

๐Ÿ’ก WHAT IS IT?

The between() condition verifies that numeric values satisfy strict lower and upper business bounds.

๐ŸŽฏ WHAT IS IT USED FOR?

Filtering corrupted IoT temperature readings, invalid discount percentages, or negative ages.

๐Ÿ’ป EXAMPLE
df_clean_range = df.filter(col("temperature").between(-50, 150) & col("discount_pct").between(0.0, 1.0))

๐ŸŽฏ Mission Objectives

Practice typing production-grade PySpark code for Range & Threshold Boundary Validation.

  • โœ“ between() validation
  • โœ“ Boundary enforcement
  • โœ“ Outlier rejection
