switchcase

syntax

• switch(case1(condition, value),..,casen(condition,value),othervalue)

definition

Switch case results in different values depending on conditions, specified as different cases. Each case is specified with the syntax: case(condition, value). Cases are seperated by commas.

The last specified value (without condition) must be configured for the values that do not meet any condition (case other).
