Hi Peter,

the "case" syntax does not accept any variables, but only constant values (like in C also :) )

But is it limited to int or implicitly-castable-to-int values, like in C ++ ?

Cheers, Jerome

Hi Jerome,

you can use strings also - no cast will be done. But the values must be constants.

Yes, I knew that, this was just a teaser so you could state that unlike C++ Openser can handle non-int in switch statements :-) (Somehow mitigating the comparison with C for the const requirement ...)

hmmm...sounds like a trap :)

Well, the kind of trap you're supposed to benefit from once you've fallen in :-)

ok...it is like in C++ (disclamer - this is based on Jerome's sayings as I mostly parallel with C++ ) ;)

I usually do too, but I'm deeeep into sems these days, and well, sems uses and abuses c++ ... I had to even re-read parts of my Strourstrup book. I guess it's inspiring me now :-)
