hi,

Specific Example of Switch Case statement

[jonathandienst]

The switch is a script control structure that functions like a series elseif statements:

if ... then ...

elseif ...

elseif ...

elseif ...

...

else ...

end if

switch <expression>

case 1               // execute if statement evaluates to 1

     ...

case 2               // execute if statement evaluates to 2

     ...

default               // execute if no case statement match (like a final "else")

     ...

end switch

Unlike mainstream programming languages, there is no "break" statement. Each "case" is an implicit break for the case above.

PS - I don't think i have ever used it in a real application, but YMMV

Hi,

Thank you for the replies but I am still not finding a practical example. Could someone share a practical one please?

Why would you use Switch Case statements? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this function?
