Efficient Way to Write a Bunch of Or's?

[Xantox]

So I would like to know if there's any way to do the following more efficiently:

while(g[0] = 0 || g[0] = 1 || g[0] = 2 || g[0] = 3 || g[0] = 4 || g[0] = 5 || g[0] = 6 || g[0] = 7 || g[0] = 8 || g[0] = 9)

I think in other languages (not sure) there's a keyword called in so it would end up something like this:

while(in.g[0](1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9))

Is there anyway to compress all my or's into something more compact?

Cant you just say while (i< 9 && i > 0)?

I only want integers.

That post describes how to verify that input is an integer. It takes a user inputted string and looks at each character, one at a time, to make sure it's either an integer (0-9) or the '-' character. Maybe that will help.

Firstly, I would like to point out to you that your code is actually assigning values but not comparing them.
[

while(g[0] = 0 || g[0] = 1 || g[0] = 2 || g[0] = 3 || g[0] = 4 || g[0] = 5 || g[0] = 6 || g[0] = 7 || g[0] = 8 || g[0] = 9)

This should be ...

while(g[0] == 0 || g[0] == 1 || g[0] == 2 || g[0] == 3 || g[0] == 4 || g[0] == 5 || g[0] == 6 || g[0] == 7 || g[0] == 8 || g[0] == 9)

And if you want a better way you can always declare a function,

bool check_valid ( int x )
{
   for ( int a = 0 ;a < 10; a++ )
    if( x == a )
        return true ;
    return false ;
}

And the while loop can be.

while( check_valid( g[0] ) )

bool check_valid ( int x )
{
   for ( int a = 0 ;a < 10; a++ )
    if( x == a )
        return true ;
    return false ;
}

Only problem is that your function has massive overhead. Why not just do:

bool check_valid ( int x )
{
    if (x >= 0 && x < 10) 
        return true;
    return false;
}

or even smaller:

bool check_valid ( int x )
{
    return (x>=0 && x <10); 
}

I agree that this makes it more efficient . My only approach was to exhibit what the OP was trying to do, with a for loop!!
