None of those four values exist in either of those two arrays.
 [2017-02-20 09:09 UTC] long dot it dot stu at gmail dot com 
with function range(1, 1.9, 0.1) it return result under:
Array
(
    [0] => 1
    [1] => 1.1
    [2] => 1.2
    [3] => 1.3
    [4] => 1.4
    [5] => 1.5
    [6] => 1.6
    [7] => 1.7
    [8] => 1.8
)
when i check in_array(1.7, range(1, 1.9, 0.1));
it return False;
But all item in array except 1.7 it return False.
in range(0, 0.9, 0.1) it resut too.

Floating point values have a limited precision. Hence a value might 
not have the same string representation after any processing. That also
includes writing a floating point value in your script and directly 
printing it without any mathematical operations.

If you would like to know more about "floats" and what IEEE
754 is, read this:

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Oh, sorry, I mistook how the range() worked.

The values in the arrays aren't what you think because floating-point numbers aren't always accurate. You could round each value in the array, or use count+array_filter instead, or do something else.
