Hello community...

I have just recently looked through Verge and am trying to learn it to help out with some projects.

One thing I see sorely lacking that would help almost every demo I've seen *SO* much is the inclusion of Java-like or C++-like switch or case statements.

So instead of having ridiculous if-blocks, for example:

int amount = cost;

if(amount = a) {
b;
} else if(amount = c) {
d;
} else if(amonut = e) {
f;
} etc etc etc...

You can code the following:

switch (amount) {
a: b;
c: d;
e: f;
etc etc etc...
}

So much cleaner. If there is already Verge functionality similar to this that I am not aware of, please someone let know. Also can someone tell me how to tab text on this message board, so my pseudocode above is actually readable? Thanks for reading!

switch (amount) { 


   case a: b; 


   case c: d; 


   case e: f; 


} 

Is what you want. There are no breaks or default like Rysen said, so you can't have any "designed bleed-thru" action, and it only works for the specified cases.

Oh! I should link Timeless in the sidebar! :o

these switches intrigue me:)

can you use operations like +, -, =, =


AAARGH

that's isn't what I posted at all!


I meant:

switch(variablex) {
a>=2: +1;
a>2: -1;
}

or am I just misundertanding these switches?

switch (variable) {
case 0: Print( "Your variable is zero!" );
case 1: Print( "Your variable is one!" );
}

You can only check one and one variable at a time, no greater-than or less-than comparing. Unless Verge3 completely changed the way switch cases works.

(Though, they did change the way it work by not having break; Oh well.)
PS: No code tag? I tried <code> and <vc>, both were removed.

GRUE 0WnD J0!

You both fail life.
