Optimizing if-else /switch-case with string options
- by cc
What modification would bring to this piece of code? In the last lines, should I use more if-else structures, instead of "if-if-if"
if (action.equals("opt1"))
{
//something
}
else
{
if (action.equals("opt2"))
{
//something
}
else
{
if ((action.equals("opt3")) || (action.equals("opt4")))
{
//something
}
if (action.equals("opt5"))
{
//something
}
if (action.equals("opt6"))
{
//something
}
}
}
Later Edit: This is Java. I don't think that switch-case structure will work with Strings.
Later Edit 2:
A switch works with the byte, short,
char, and int primitive data types. It
also works with enumerated types
(discussed in Classes and Inheritance)
and a few special classes that "wrap"
certain primitive types: Character,
Byte, Short, and Integer (discussed
in Simple Data Objects ).
