Compare array value to variable value

I want to compare changing values in a loop I generated. When I try, I get the error Operator '>' is not supported for operands of type 'cell'. Am I calling individual array elements wrong and, regardless, how do I get past this?:

array ={1,3};
x=2;

if x > array(1) && x< array(2)
    %do task
end

if x > array{1} && x < array{2}

You need curly braces instead of round parentheses. array(1) is a {1 x 1} cellm while array{1} is the contents of the first cell.
