SQL IN condition in Java

Question

I have multiple conditions to check as shown below,

if(pouch.getStatus().equals("Finalized") || pouch.getStatus().equals("Ready") 
  || pouch.getStatus().equals("Checkout") || pouch.getStatus().equals("Confirmed")
  || pouch.getStatus().equals("Book") || pouch.getStatus().equals("Started")
  || pouch.getStatus().equals("Inital") || pouch.getStatus().equals("Close")) {
        // Body Implementation
}

Is there any easy way to check above conditions similar like SQL INcondition, so that code look simpler?

Answer 1

Let's take a look about SQL in features

SQL WHERE IN returns values that match values in a list

---

So I would use a collection, which implements from Collection<E> and had contains method, make the if statement simpler.

contains(Object o) Returns true if this set contains the specified element.

contains effect is very similar to SQL in.

1.add your multiple conditions in the collection, which implements from Collection<E>

Set<String> dict = new HashSet<String>();
dict.add("Finalized");
dict.add("Ready");
dict.add("Checkout");
dict.add("Confirmed");
dict.add("Book");
dict.add("Started");
dict.add("Inital");
dict.add("Close");

2.using contains to check input value whether exist in the collection.

if (dict.contains(pouch.getStatus()))
{
     // do your logic
}
