Is this possible?

[E-man96]

[code\]
int a=5;
if (a==7||6||5||4||3||2)

instead of doing

int a=5;
if (a==7||a==6||a==5||a==4||a==3||a==2)
[code/]
is this possible and if not how can you make it possible?

[crei]

int a=5;
if (a==7||6||5||4||3||2)

is not going to do what you want it to (the condition will always be true). Instead do

if( a >= 2 && a <=7 )
   // Do something

or use a switch statement

switch( i )
    {
    case 7:
    case 6:
    case 5:
    case 4:
    case 3:
    case 2:
      //Do something
      break;
    default:
      break;
   };

No it's not.

What do you have against white space?

You may overload operator "||". But it is not recommanded.

No it's not possible. C++ does not understand colloquial English. Just because English speakers shorten their "or's" by combining everything into one sentence doesn't mean it works for C++.

Every comparison must be explicitly stated, one at a time.

and if not how can you make it possible?

Didn't you do that already?

int a=5;
if (a==7||a==6||a==5||a==4||a==3||a==2)

There are languages that do work that way though. C++ Just doesn't happen to be one of them.

Maybe, but most high-level (and low-level) languages work only by specifying in "long hand" all of the conditions.
