how to set the range using switch statement??

Expand Post »

Hi..
Is that possible to us to set the range using the switch statement?
For example i want to do this :
if ph==7 is neutral
if ph<7 is acidic
if ph>7 is alkali

could i just write like "case ph<7 :"
i know i could do the case one by one by writing case 1 :,case 2 and so on..
but if i got a big range...how could i do that??
Thank You.....

Re: how to set the range using switch statement??

switch blocks are not good for doing range based decision making. You have to be able to do exact matches to integral types, which is often, as you surmise, way too much work.

Use if...else if... construct to separate your data points into the appropriate range groups.
