shows the basic structure of a 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!

  3. 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:
  4.  
  5. switch(sizeofarse)
  6. {
  7. 	case "tiny":
  8. 	// do some tiny arse related stuff
  9. 	break;
  10.  
  11. 	case "medium":
  12. 	// do some medium-sized arse related stuff
  13. 	break;
  14.  
  15. 	case "huge":
  16. 	// do some huge arse related stuff
  17. 	break;	
  18.  
  19. }
  20.  
  21. OK - got that.  now for the real thing!
  22. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| */
  23.  
  24.  
  25.  
  26. //begin switch
  27. switch()
  28. {
  29. // all possible 'cases' go below here
  30.  
  31. 	//first case
  32. 	case "":
  33. 	// do first case stuff
  34. 	break;
  35.  
  36. 	// second case
  37. 	case "":
  38. 	// do second case stuff
  39. 	break;	
  40.  
  41. 	// etc... etc... add as many more 'cases' as needed
  42.  
  43. // all possible 'cases' go above here
  44. }
  45. // end switch
