Coding Standards / Coding Best practices in C++

Question

Consider the two code segments below. Which one is better and Why? If you have any other idea, please do mention. Where can I find answers to coding p

Answer 1

A switch would be a better solution to your problem I think. You would need to overload the method to take in an int param and I don't know if that's something you would want to do or not.

Bool MyApplication::ReportGenerator::GenerateReport(int i)
{
  switch(i)
  {
    case 1:
       // do something
       break;
    case 2:
       // do something
       break;
   // etc
 }
 return GeneratReport()
}

Not really sure what your plan is since you're calling the method recursively and as some point you will want to leave the method.
