Building A Reference List

Question

I want to make a list that my program checks. It's too many entrees for an if or a switch. How can I build this list, lets say in a header and then reference from my code and come back with a true or a false, 1 or 0, being if it's on the list or not? Any directions, better ideas, I'm all ears! Thank you.

Solution 1

Add the values you want to check against to a hash_set and then when you check if a value is in the list you use myHashSet.find(myValue) != myHashSet.end()
