How to say through in C++

Bnn678 (33)
I was trying to do something using a varible such as experience or gold, and i was wondering if there was a way to set a limit to a greater than or less than statement like

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
 
if (gold//through statement that set the limit for gold)
{
    //make an option to buy something
}
else 
{
   cout << "You don't have enough money to buy this. \n";
   //I know when working with a store no limits is good but i want to be able to set a max
   return 1;
}


the problem with greater than or less than is that when using a loop, the test will always be true for the lack of the limit thanks for your time

I don't know if I understand. Is this what you want?

if (gold >= cost)
{
    // do something
    gold -= cost;
}
else 
{
   cout << "You don't have enough money to buy this. \n";
   //I know when working with a store no limits is good but i want to be able to set a max
   return 1;
}

no, i want something that says,

1
2
 
 while gold = 1-99 // do something
// but i dont want it to be subtraction, i want it to only work while the varible is between 2 numbers


or mabye heres a better example

level=0
experience=0

if (experience 1-99//but not subtraction, while the number is between)
{
    level=1
}
if (experience 100-199//again not subtraction)
{
    level=2//and so on
}


does that help?

if (experience >= 1 && experience <= 99)
{
    level=1;
}
if (experience >= 100 && experience <= 199)
{
    level=2;
}

If you make use of else if you can write it like this:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
 
if (experience < 1)
{
    level=0;
}
else if (experience < 100)
{
    level=1;
}
else if (experience < 200)
{
    level=2;
}

It's probably easier to write it this, and less chance to make mistakes.

that is easier, but i dont want it to continue to be level=0

because as you gain something like experience dont you want the varible to be 2 things at once, else if it causes the new statement to overwrite the old, dont you have to rerun it each time you gain experience
