Range checks using a switch statement

Question

My teacher has assigned a program to use both if-else statements and switch statements, so we understand how to implement both. The program asked u

Answer 1

You could calculate your case labels dynamically from an array/vector instead of hardcoding an if/else expression:

//#include "stdafx.h"
#include 

using namespace std;


inline int seg(double d){ //calculate segment for a BMI of d
  constexpr double segs[] = { 18.5, 25, 30, 35 };
  constexpr int n = sizeof(segs)/sizeof(double);
  int r; for(r=0; r> height >> weight;

  weightKilo = weight*KILOGRAMS_PER_POUND;
  heightMeters = height*METERS_PER_INCH;
  BMI = weightKilo / (heightMeters*heightMeters);



  switch (seg(BMI)) {
    case 0: cout << "You are underweight" << endl; break;
    case 1: cout << "You are a normal weight " << endl; break;
    case 2: cout << "You are overweight" << endl; break;
    case 3: cout << "You are obese" << endl; break;
    case 4: cout << "You are gravely overweight" << endl; break;
  }

}

(You could even make the seg functions constexpr if your really wanted to).
