* The switch statement. The LPC switch statement is nearly identical to
|
|
the C switch statement. The only real difference is that the cases of
|
|
the LPC switch may be strings as well as integers. Syntax is as follows:
|
|
|
|
switch (expression) {
|
|
case constant0 : statements0;
|
|
break;
|
|
case constant1 : statements1;
|
|
break;
|
|
default : statements2;
|
|
break;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
The switch is a replacement for the chained if else if else if else
|
|
construct. The above switch is equivalent to:
|
|
|
|
tmp = expression;
|
|
if (tmp == constant0) {
|
|
statements0;
|
|
...;
|
|
} else if (tmp == constant1) {
|
|
statements1;
|
|
...;
|
|
} else {
|
|
statements2;
|
|
...;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
The main difference between the switch and the if statement is that if
|
|
the "break;" statement is ommited from the end of a particular case,
|
|
then the statements in the next case will be executed as well.
