Question

I was wondering if there was a shorter way to write

if (test != 'e' || test != 'd')

I want to write it like

if (test != ('e' || 'd'))

Or something like this so i don’t have to repeat “test !=”

Thanks

That’s the syntax of the language. There’s not much you can do about it… If you don’t like the way it looks, you can make a boolean function that contains the tests and then just call that function:

bool isEOrD(char test)
{
    return (test != 'e' || test != 'd')
}

...

if (isEOrD(test)) 

EDIT: There are other ways to write this code (see the comments to this answer), but your original way is probably the cleanest approach.
