In the 1 month experience I've had with any programming language, I've assumed that switch
case
conditions would accept anything in the parenthesis as a boolean checking thingamajig, ie
these:
|| && < >
Know what I mean?
something like
char someChar = 'w';
switch (someChar) {
case ('W' ||'w'):
System.out.println ("W or w");
}
Sadly, doesn't seem to work that way. I can't have boolean checking in switch case.
Is there a way around it?
By the way, terribly sorry if I'm sounding confusing. I don't quite know the names for everything in this language yet :X
Any answers appreciated
You can achieve an OR for cases like this:
switch (someChsr) {
case 'w':
case 'W':
// some code for 'w' or 'W'
break;
case 'x': // etc
}
Cases are like a "goto" and multiple gotos can share the same line to start execution.
