Combining multiple conditional expressions in C#

Question

In C#, instead of doing if(index == 7 || index == 8), is there a way to combine them? I\'m thinking of something like if(index == (7, 8)).

Answer 1

You could use this:

 if (new List<int>() { 7, 8 }.Contains(index))

Answer 2

There is no way, in the current C# syntax set, to combine multiple right-hand-side operands to be passed to a single binary operator to the best of my knowledge.

Answer 3

No way to do that, but you could certainly do a range using if( index >=7 && index <= 8 ). But giving it a list of numbers would require you to create an array or list object and then use a method to do this. But that's just overkill.
