Or Logic within If statements

Jonathan Mercer

Hey All,

I have been using C# for awhile and I was wondering if there was a short cut when it comes to using the '||' in an if statment. For example. If I have an int i and I want my code to do the same thing if i = 4,6 or 7. I know that I could use a swich statement and or I could use if(i = 4 || i=6 ....) . What I want to do is: if(i= 4 || 6 || 7) Is there a shortcut that would allow this. I have been looking but I haven't been able to find any.

Thanks.

Yeah. I figured it was either write it out in full or switch statments. *Sigh*

I'm afraid there isn't a shortcut, Jonathan - you have to write each expression out in full.

The position is slightly neater with the switch statement as you can 'stack' empty cases on top of each other:

switch(i)
{
     case 4:
     case 6:
     case 7:
         // do something
         break;
     default:
        // do something else
        break;
}

It's no big deal though :)
