hi,
No, I don't think so. A switch statement is just a rewording of "if"
statements that looks a bit more like English. The problem with switch is
that you cannot test inclusive statements like:
if (something is less than this or greater than that)
{
// do something...
}
Whereas in switch statements, you need to provide case by case branches like
that from Tyler's code. (hopefully I might be wrong on that...).
If you want to test user responses after running the loop, you could try an
alternative, which is:
do\{
// your program code...
} while (response == "y");
This will ensure that the loop continues when the user answers "y" to our
prompt, otherwise (including "n") the computer will end the loop.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: If statements inside switch statements?
Hi all,
Is it efficient on the computer's resources if I place an if statement
inside a switch statement?
The reason I ask is because for whatever reason, I can't get my else clause
to work. Switch, on the other hand, works just fine.
