Thread: Boolean Logic Question

Ok... what am I missing? I just don't get why the following code doesn't work. What my code is trying to do is say, 'if the variable is equivalent to a list of possible results, print match. Otherwise, print no match.'

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{

   int x = 5;

   if( x == (5 || 3 || 2 || 1 || 0) )
      cout << "match" << endl;
   else
      cout << "no match" << endl;

   system("PAUSE");

   return 0;

}
