Is there a simpler way to check multiple values against one value in an if-statement?

Question

Basically, what I want to do is check two integers against a given value, therefore, classically what you would do is something like this:

//just to get some         


        

Answer 1

You can try this code:

public static boolean match (Object ref, Object... objects)
{
    if (ref == null)
        return false;
    //
    for (Object obj : objects)
        if (obj.equals (ref))
            return true;
    //
    return false;   
}   //  match

So if you can check this way:

if (match (reference, "123", "124", "125"))
    ;   //  do something
