Or Logic within If statements

Question

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 = 46 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 :)
