if(abc==\'value1\' || abc==\'value2\' || abc==\'value3\') {//do something}

to make it look similar to this:<

Answer 1

You could use a switch statement. Like this:

switch(abc) {
    'value1':
    'value2':
    'value3':
         // do something
         break;
    default:
         // noop
}

But your original if with || is probably still preferable.
