Ellhar:

It looks like you're overcomplicating things. By looking over your code, it looks like you really want something like this (untested!):

$a= 20;
$b= 22.5;
$c= 23
$atob = abs($a - $b) > 1 ? 1 : 0;
$btoc = abs($b - $c) > 1 ? 1 : 0;
$atoc = abs($a - $c) > 1 ? 1 : 0;

if ( $atob && $atoc && $btoc ) {
print OUTFILE "DIFF > 1 all three\n";
    $matrixflags[$row - 4][$i] = 1;
    $matrixflags[$row - 3][$i] = 1;
    $matrixflags[$row - 2][$i] = 1;
}
...

That would also help you avoid some of the impossible conditions in your code, like:

((btoc < 1) && (btoc > -1))

You should always try to simplify your logic before writing your code!

Update: After another second of thought, perhaps this would be even more to your liking--Replace the if .. then stuff with:

if ($atob+$atoc+$btoc) {
    printf OUTFILE "DIFF=%d:   %f,  %f,  %f\n",
        $atob+$atoc+$btoc, $a-$b, $a-$c, $b-$c;
}
$matrixflags[$row - 4][$i] = $atob;
$matrixflags[$row - 3][$i] = $atoc;
$matrixflags[$row - 2][$i] = $atob;
}
