For a programming class, I have to convert a range of values to a switch stateme

Question

For a programming class, I have to convert a range of values to a switch statement without using if/else ifs. Here are the values that I need to convert to cases:

0 to 149 ............. $10.00
150 to 299 .........$15.00
300 to 449 .........$25.00
550 to 749..........$40.00
750 to 1199........$65.00
2000 and above.....$85.00

I am having difficulty finding a way to separate the values since they are so close in number (like 149 to 150).

I have used plenty of algorithms such as dividing the input by 2000, and then multiplying that by 10 to get a whole number, but they are too close to each other to create a new case for.

Using C++ programming

Explanation / Answer

#include <iostream>

#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main() {

int value = 130;

switch (value) {

case 0 ... 149:

cout << "$10";

break;

case 150 ... 299:

cout << "$15";

break;

case 300 ... 449:

cout << "$25";

break;

case 550 ... 749:

cout << "$40";

break;

case 750 ... 1199:

cout << "$65";

break;

case 2000 ... 10000 :

cout << "$85";

break;

default:

break;

}

return 0;

}
