Elegantly determine if more than one boolean is “true”

Question

I have a set of five boolean values. If more than one of these are true I want to excecute a particular function. What is the most elegant way you can think of that would al

Answer 1

Casting to ints and summing should work, but it's a bit ugly and in some languages may not be possible.

How about something like

int count = (bool1? 1:0) + (bool2? 1:0) + (bool3? 1:0) + (bool4? 1:0) + (bool5? 1:0);

Or if you don't care about space, you could just precompute the truth table and use the bools as indices:

if (morethanone[bool1][bool2][bool3][bool4][bool5]) {
 ... do something ...
}
