How can I compare multiple variables to a single condition?

Question

I have this:

if (input.Text.ToUpper() == \"STOP\")

But there are so many possible values that I wouldn\'t be able to specify them all sepa

Answer 1

You could use a collection like array and Enumerable.Contains:

var words = new[]{ "STOP", "END", "NO", "YES" };
if(words.Contains(input.Text.ToUpper()))
{
     // ...      
}
