Or Questions

Instead of doing

Code:

---

if ( strCookies=="good" || strCookies=="better" )

---

can you do something like

Code:

---

if ( strCookies==("good" || "better") )

---

also, is there any way to put multiple items on a case line:

e.g.

Code:

---

case apples||oranges:
{
cout<<"either apples or oranges were in the box"<<endl;
break;
}

---

> can you do something like

You can (syntactically), but it doesn't mean what you want it to mean (namely comparing strCookies with 2 strings).

> also, is there any way to put multiple items on a case line:
Yes, you just do

Code:

---

case apples:
case oranges:
{
    cout<<"either apples or oranges were in the box"<<endl;
    break;
}

Nope, sorry. You'd have to make a utility function for that.
Example:

Code:

---

template<typename T1, typename T2, typename T2>
bool equal(const T1& val1, const T2& val2, const T3& val3)
{
        if (val1 == val2) return true;
        return (val1 == val3);
}

if (equal(strCookies, "good", "better"))
        // Do something
