the Switch statement 1

[rewclaus]

is there a way to make a range limit in the cases within the switch function. For example is it possible to do something like this:

switch (int)
{
case(x to y): {printf("YAY!"); break;}
}

No - use an if instead

If the x and y have fixed values (here x is 1 and y is 3), you can do:


switch (int)
{
case 1:
case 2:
case 3:
{printf("YAY!"); break;}

}

I would use the if-case, as xwb suggested

If you're using gcc, and you're willing to allow compiler extensions in your code, then you can do things like this

case 'A' ... 'Z':
