How to write gaps in switch operator C++?For example I want to write a program that input year t and output a historical period:

Question

//This is Pascal

Case t of
 -4200000..-3001: writeln('Prehistory');
 -3000..476: writeln('Ancient history');
 477..1453: writeln('Middle ages');
 1454..1789: writeln('Modern age');
 1790..2017: writeln('Contemporary age')
else
begin
 if (t<-4200000) then
  writeln('Too old times...');
 if (t>2017) then
  writeln('Future')
end;

//How to rewrite this in C++???

Answer 1

This is better written using if-else as switch statement need specific cases.
int i;
cin>>i; //input
if (i>-3000&&i <476)
cout <<"Ancient History";
else if (//time period here)
cout <<//period name
.

else
cout <<"Invalid Input";
