    <p>Is there a good and fast way in <strong>C/C++</strong> to test if multiple variables contains either all positive or all negative values?</p> <p>Say there a 5 variables to test:</p> <p><strong>Variant 1</strong></p> <pre><code>int test(int a[5]) { if (a[0] &lt; 0 &amp;&amp; a[1] &lt; 0 &amp;&amp; a[2] &lt; 0 &amp;&amp; a[3] &lt; 0 &amp;&amp; a[4] &lt; 0) { return -1; } else if (a[0] &gt; 0 &amp;&amp; a[1] &gt; 0 &amp;&amp; a[2] &gt; 0 &amp;&amp; a[3] &gt; 0 &amp;&amp; a[4] &gt; 0) { return 1; } else { return 0; } } </code></pre> <p><strong>Variant 2</strong></p> <pre><code>int test(int a[5]) { unsigned int mask = 0; mask |= (a[0] &gt;&gt; numeric_limits&lt;int&gt;::digits) &lt;&lt; 1; mask |= (a[1] &gt;&gt; numeric_limits&lt;int&gt;::digits) &lt;&lt; 2; mask |= (a[2] &gt;&gt; numeric_limits&lt;int&gt;::digits) &lt;&lt; 3; mask |= (a[3] &gt;&gt; numeric_limits&lt;int&gt;::digits) &lt;&lt; 4; mask |= (a[4] &gt;&gt; numeric_limits&lt;int&gt;::digits) &lt;&lt; 5; if (mask == 0) { return 1; } else if (mask == (1 &lt;&lt; 5) - 1) { return -1; } else { return 0; } } </code></pre> <p><strong>Variant 2a</strong></p> <pre><code>int test(int a[5]) { unsigned int mask = 0; for (int i = 0; i &lt; 5; i++) { mask &lt;&lt;= 1; mask |= a[i] &gt;&gt; numeric_limits&lt;int&gt;::digits; } if (mask == 0) { return 1; } else if (mask == (1 &lt;&lt; 5) - 1) { return -1; } else { return 0; } } </code></pre> <p>What Version should I prefer? Is there any adavantage using variant 2/2a over 1? Or is there a better/faster/cleaner way?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
