Does C++ have comparison operator that specify a range of values? (like 'in' in E language)?

Question

I need to write a condition that checks if an enum variable in range of values, like it can be done in E language:

enum EnumVariable {a, b, d, g, f, t, k, i}; if (EnumVariable in [ a, g, t, i]) {     ... } 

Is there a better way in C++ than ask 4 times if EnumVariable==a or EnumVariable==b etc.?

You can actually use switch for integral types without break-s between some values.

For example, your code could look like:

enum EnumVariable {a, b, d, g, f, t, k, i}; switch( EnumVariable ) { case a: case g: case t: case i:     // do something     break; // handler other values }; 

This would be very efficient, but would work for integral types only, and not for std::string, for example. For other types, you may try to use some of the other answers' suggestions.

It's a bit long for writing, but very, very efficient and does what you need.
