Check for multiple values when using comparison operators

Question

I\'ve always been under the impression that for any comparison statement, i.e. X == Y or X != Y is the format, and you chain statements together with <

Answer 1

There's no clean way to do what you ask in C++.

What trips many people up is that X == (Y || Z) may be a legal expression and the compiler will not complain. It will just be a bug. Each C++ statement must evaluate to true/false on its own and the operators just string them together. What you're suggesting would require some intrinsic list structure. Many languages have that (like Python), but C++ does not.
