File relations, like the name implies, are relations between files on AniDB. There are two types of file relations; [[#File-File Relations|File-File]] and [[#File-Ep Relations|File-Ep]].  | |||

=== Percentage ranges for file-ep relations ===  | |||
File-episode relations follow the rules of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_line number lines] for all [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer integer numbers] in the inclusive range <code>[0,100]</code>. In simpler terms, ranges should be directly connected. Examples:  | |||
  2 file release, each covering 1/2 of the episode:  | |||
  [0,50] --> 0% to 50% for part 1  | |||
  [50,100] --> 50% to 100% for part 2  | |||
  3 file release, each covering 1/3 of the episode:  | |||
  [0,33] --> 0% to 33% for part 1  | |||
  [33,67] --> 33% to 67% for part 2  | |||
  [67,100] --> 67% to 100% for part 3  | |||
  4 file release, each covering 1/4 of the episode:  | |||
  [0,25] --> 0% to 25% for part 1  | |||
  [25,50] --> 25% to 50% for part 2  | |||
  [50,75] --> 50% to 75% for part 3  | |||
  [75,100] --> 75% to 100% for part 4  | |||

'''Correct:''' Ranges cover the entire number line when they are directly connected, as is the case with <code>[0,25]</code>, <code>[25,50]</code>, <code>[50,75]</code>, and <code>[75,100]</code>; there are no gaps in the number line.<br><br>  | |||
[[File:Number line 4 exclusive.png|border]]<br>  | |||
'''Incorrect:''' If the ranges are not directly connected, as in the case with <code>[0,25]</code>, <code>[26,50]</code>, <code>[51,75]</code>, and <code>[76,100]</code>, the values in the range <code>(25,26)</code> (e.g. 25.00000000001 to 25.99999999999), <code>(50,51)</code>, and <code>(75,76)</code> would be incorrectly excluded.  | |||
