    Question [SOLVED] don't get it how to make || operator

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    int main ()
    {
    	long int x = 0;
    	start:
    	if (x != 128)
    	{
    		if (x == 9){x++;} //31 space//13 enter//10 enter//9 tab
    		if (x == 10){x++;} //31 space//13 enter//10 enter//9 tab
    		if (x == 13){x++;} //31 space//13 enter//10 enter//9 tab
    		if (x == 32){x++;} //31 space//13 enter//10 enter//9 tab
    		cout << (char)x;
    		cout << x << endl;
    		x++;
    		goto start;
    
    	}
    	return 0;
    }
    this is how I like it but why I can't make code:
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    int main ()
    {
    	long int x = 0;
    	start:
    	if (x != 128)
    	{
    		if (x == 9||10||13||32){x++;} //31 space//13 enter//10 enter//9 tab
    		cout << (char)x;
    		cout << x << endl;
    		x++;
    		goto start;
    
    	}
    	return 0;
    }
    Code:
    		if (x == 9||10||13||32){x++;} //31 space//13 enter//10 enter//9 tab
    this if is allways possible why?

    You must be explicit, ie:
    if (x == '\t' || x == '\n' || x == '\r' || x == ' ')
    I also suggest that you change x's type to char, remove the cast when printing x, and remove goto in favor of a real loop.
    Finally, use characters instead of magic numbers, such as the example above.

    ok thanks


    ok new code it's shorter yes you're right
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    int main ()
    {
    	int x =0;
    	char y=x;
    	for (x=0;x!=128;x++&&y++)
    	{
    		if (x==9){x=x+2;y=x;}
    		if (x==13||x==32){x++&&y++;} //32 space//13 enter//10 enter//9 tab
    		cout << y << x << endl;
    	}
    	return 0;
    }

    can I make it in 1 line as 9 and 10 are together so if 9 + 2 if other numbers +1?

    but another thing i don't know

    Code:
    		if (x==9){x=x+2;y=x;}
    		if (x==13||x==32){x++&&y++;} //32 space//13 enter//10 enter//9 tab
    can i make this code shorter

    I think you should check out the reference for <cctype>.

    In particular, whitespace is detected with isspace (and printable characters with isprint).

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <cctype>
    using namespace std;
    
    int main ()
    {
        int x =0;
        for (x=0;x!=128;x++) {
            if (!isspace(x)) {
                std::cout << char(x) << ' ' << x << '\n';
            }
        }
        return 0;
    }
    I might be wrong.

    Thank you, anon. You sure know how to recognize different types of trees from quite a long way away.

    That's not correct usage of && there. In this piece of code:
    Code:
    x++&&y++
    y will not increment if x is zero.
    The right way to do it inside the incrementing part of the for loop is to use a comma:
    Code:
    x++, y++
    Or elsewhere, just use a regular semi-colon.

    You can also use x += 2 instead of x=x+2
