I want to make a if statement that equals several different numbers. A example is below that compels but writing score every time could take a lot of time.

```
if score == 4 || score == 5 || score == 6 {

print("Yes")

```

I want to somehow write a if statement that goes like

```
if score == {4,5,6}{
print ("yes")}

```

The simplest way I can think of would be to use [`contains`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/sequence/2904924-contains) which comes from the [`Sequence protocol`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/sequence)

```swift
if [4, 5, 6].contains(score) {
    print("Yes")
}

```

With the provided values/sample, I would have used [contains(:)-\>Bool](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/closedrange/1784630-contains) from the [RangeExpression](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/rangeexpression) protocol

```auto
if Range(4...6).contains(score) { print("Yes") }

```

@mokhet’s solution is best if your `int`s represent a range. You can shorten it to:

`if 4...6 ~= score { print("Yes") }`

@timswift You can also use `if case` with ranges like this:

```
if case 4...6 = score {
  print("yes")
}
```

I hope it helps!
