Hi,
Thanks, guys. When I saw Ken's example, I liked the switch better.

I can't agree more
Switch is so superior to chains of if statements.
Take care,
Sina

I find switch much easier to use and read in large if else messes. For example
in a multi level if else like this.
If (){
If (){
If (){
}else{
}
}else{
}
}else{
If (){
If (){
}else{
}
}else{
}
}
Could look like this
Switch ()
Case 1:
If (){
}else{
}
Case 2:
If (){
}Else{
}

Hi,
Would there be a time when you would choose to use switch, and another when you
would choose to use if else? For example, if doing it one way or the other
would make a program easier to read. When I was just thinking about this, it
seemed to me that if you would choose if else, you wouldn't have to keep
remembering to put in break statements. For ease of reading, it would seem that
the code would take less time to listen to if you would choose if else.
Thanks.
