I am writing a simple C#.NET application where I have an if condition where I am checking if a string variable value is a string or another string or another string or another one, etcetc.
Something like this:
if(protocollo == "2019/0002391" || protocollo == "2019/0002390" || protocollo == "2019/0001990" || ........)
This solution works but it is not so elegant. What could be a smarter way to implement the same behavior?
I agree with @JeroenMostert that it really depends on the context of the rest of your application. That said, using an array of strings and checking if your string is in there is a nice straightforward solution. There are certianily solutions that would scale better, take a look at HashSet .
string[] s = new string[] { "2019/0002391", "2019/0002390", "2019/0001990", ... };
if (s.Contains(protocollo)) {
// fill in here
}
You never said, so I'm making the assumption that the strings you're checking against is hard-coded and not something that changes often. To that end, you could create a string[]
or HashSet<string>
in a static class so it only initializes the one time, then expose a method for checking a second string against the valid ones.
void Main()
{
Console.WriteLine(Protocols.ValidProtocol("2019/0002391")); //True
Console.WriteLine(Protocols.ValidProtocol("2018/0000000")); //False
}
// Define other methods and classes here
public static class Protocols
{
public static bool ValidProtocol(string protocol)
{
return _validProtocols.Contains(protocol);
}
private static readonly HashSet<string> _validProtocols = new HashSet<string>
{
"2019/0002391",
"2019/0002390",
"2019/0001990"
//etc, etc...
};
}
A solution like this would probably not be ideal if the list of string
s you need to check against changes often. You'd probably want to pull the list from an external source like a file or a database if you need to modify it often.
I had some code similar to your example in a static extension method. I didn't want to have to instantiate an array every time the method was called, but I wanted to improve the readability of the code.
I improved the code using the switch expression which was added in C# 8. Here is the what your example might look like if implemented with a switch expression. Depending on what your code does if the condition is true you may be able to improve on this, but this is the basics.
var isProtocolloMatch = protocollo switch
{
"2019/0002391" => true,
"2019/0002390" => true,
"2019/0001990" => true,
_ => false
};
if (isProtocolloMatch)
{
// do stuff
}
