TakeWhile and Select

Questions

I have this list:

geo = {{0.107885, 0.21577, 0.313393, 0.411015, 0.499351, 0.587688, 0.667621,
   0.747554, 0.819884, 0.892213, 0.981434, 1.07066, 1.15988, 1.2491, 
  1.33832, 1.42754, 1.51676, 1.60598, 1.6952}}

If I SELECT the elements Lato1 and Lato2, with the the command below, the command sequence runs.

B=0.5
geo = Flatten [geo]
Lato1 = Select [geo, #<=B &] 
Latoo2 = Select[geo , B<#<1.6. &]

On the contrary if I use the command TakeWhile, it doesen’t run for Lato2. Why??

B=0.5
geo = Flatten [geo]
Lato1 = TakeWhile [geo, #<=B &] 
Lato2 = TakeWhile [geo , B<#<1.6. &]

Thanks

By definition,

Select[list,crit]

picks out ALL elements of the list for which crit is True.

whereas

TakeWhile[list,crit]

gives elements of the list from the beginning for which crit is True but stops at the value for which crit is not true. It doesn’t evaluate further.

For e.g.

Select[{a, 1, 2, 3, b, c, 4, d, 5}, IntegerQ]
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

But

TakeWhile[{a, 1, 2, 3, b, c, 4, d, 5}, IntegerQ]
{}

Thank you!
