java
|if-else-statement
I have these long statements that I will refer to as x,y etc. here. My conditional statements' structure goes like this:
if(x || y || z || q){
    if(x)
       do someth
    else if (y)
       do something
    if(z)
       do something
    else if(q)
       do something
}
else
    do smthing
Is there a better, shorter way to write this thing? Thanks
