/* |||||||||||||| SWITCH STATEMENT ||||||||||||||||||
switches are useful when you want to respond to a series of possible values that a variable might have, without having to write a shitload of "if(blah blah){do blah}" code which, as we know soon ends up as curly bracket spaghetti. for example, if you had a variable called 'sizeofarse' which stored the girth of someone's buttocks and you wanted to respond accordingly you could use a switch, like so:
switch(sizeofarse)
{
case "tiny":
// do some tiny arse related stuff
break;
case "medium":
// do some medium-sized arse related stuff
break;
case "huge":
// do some huge arse related stuff
break;
}
OK - got that. now for the real thing!
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| */
//begin switch
switch()
{
// all possible 'cases' go below here
//first case
case "":
// do first case stuff
break;
// second case
case "":
// do second case stuff
break;
// etc... etc... add as many more 'cases' as needed
// all possible 'cases' go above here
}
// end switch
