Get rid of ugly if statements

Question

I have this ugly code:

if ( v > 10 ) size = 6;
if ( v > 22 ) size = 5;
if ( v > 51 ) size = 4;
if ( v > 68 ) size = 3;
if ( v > 117 ) size = 2         


        

Answer 1

Yet another variation (less pronounced than the answer by George)

  //int v = 9;
  int[] arr = {145, 117, 68, 51, 22, 10};
  int size = 7; for(;7 - size < arr.length && v - arr[size - 2] > 0; size--) {};
  return size;
