This routine will check whether an angle is between two other angles specifying lower and upper bounds. If theta is determined to be within the bounds [lb,ub] a "true" value for idx is returned. This routine can handle all types of angle space including 0 to 2*pi and 0 to 360 as long as there are no negative values.

Function Calling Syntax:
>> idx = isAngBetween(theta,lb,ub)

Example Function Call in degrees:
>> idx = isAngBetween(45,0,90);

Example Function Call in Radians:
>> idx = isAngBetween(pi/4,0,pi/2);

To perform a vectorized self-test simply invoke the routine without any inputs via:
>> isAngBetween();

Remember to ensure that all angle inputs are constrained within either 0 and 2*pi or 0 and 360 degrees, this can be done using the "mod" operator in MATLAB.
