That way should work. But that becomes one hell of an IF statement before 
too long.  The way I used to do it was:

int key;

key = getch();      // get the current key press(

switch(key)
{
         case 75:   // left arrow key
            DoSomeStuff();
            break;

...and so on and so forth.
This helps keep things organized and makes it easy to expand to check for 
new key presses.
