According to the site Math Planet, 'A compound inequality contains at least two inequalities that are separated by either "and" or "or".'

In the case of "and", a compound inequality such as

x > -1 and x < 2

can also be written as:

-1 < x < 2

(I also took this example from Math Planet.)

There is no such shortcut for the "or" case.
