Make it 16 values and run again :) Sure, the more elements we have, the better hash performs. But in case of ints/floats, for instance, for small sets especially, the difference will be even more significant. Chained ifs are better than array search (for fixed and known sets of values, of course). > I guess what I was really looking for is syntax sugar that expands this: > if (variable in value1, value2, value3, value4) Exactly - *that* would be very nice :) I believe this is easily doable using templates & mixins, though, not using 'in' operator, but something like InSet!(var, values...). /Alexander
