Solved Multiple arguments with same result?

Hi there helpfull bukkiters, i just got into some simple Java programming and made my first plugin.
But as any "proper" plugin-developer should i am looking for ways to improve my code so i have a question for you.

Currently i have a command that does /pokeinfo (Pokemon name) and it returns information about that pokèmon. It looks something like this:

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

Code:java

 
if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("bulbasaur")) {
     player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "#001" + ChatColor.YELLOW + " Bulbasaur");
     player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Evolves:" + ChatColor.YELLOW + " Level 16 - #002 Ivysaur");
  } else if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("Ivysaur")) {
    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "#002" + ChatColor.YELLOW + " Ivysaur");
    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Evolves:" + ChatColor.YELLOW + " Level 32 - #003
Venusaur");
//code continues with about 500 pokemon. 
} else {
     player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "No such pokemon.");
     return false;

Is there a way i can turn the "If" part for bulbasaur and venasaur so it checks for multiple arguments that will return the same code? As an example i would like the player to be able to do /pokeinfo 001 and get the same result as he would with /pokeinfo bulbasaur? (something like an "or" line instead of if, or is there something inside the "if" line that allows it to check for several different arguments?)

Another question; when one of the arguments is a number, is there a way to make it so it doesn't tell the difference between "1" and "001"?


I hope my question was clear enough
Thanks, and have a nice day!

 

Are you looking for something like if(condition1 || condition2) where the || translates to "or"?

 

That sounds about right, yes.
Is it that simple? o.o

 

Use this

Code:java

if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("bulbasaur") || args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("001")) {
    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "#001" + ChatColor.YELLOW + " Bulbasaur");
    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Evolves:" + ChatColor.YELLOW + " Level 16 - #002 Ivysaur");
  } else if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("Ivysaur") || args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("002")) {
    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "#002" + ChatColor.YELLOW + " Ivysaur");
    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Evolves:" + ChatColor.YELLOW + " Level 32 - #003
Venusaur");
//code continues with about 500 pokemon.
} else {
    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "No such pokemon.");
    return false;

 

Thank you very much!
Any response to the second part of my question?
"when one of the arguments is a number, is there a way to make it so it doesn't tell the difference between "1" and "001"? "

 

i'm not sure but i think it will see the 001 as 1 if you change it to an integer

 

I think if(Integer.parseInt(args[0]) == 1) should work. Just make sure args[0] is actually a number or you will get a NumberFormatException.

 

If( check1 || check2)
{

}
Look up logical operators on http://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/java_basic_operators.htm

For the second question, could cast to int, or you could loop over the string and make a substring from the first non 0 character.

Edit: typing with tablet is annoyingly slow. Heh.
