    Do switches and arrays mix?

    Hi, I need to do something I'm not sure is valid. I want to use a switch statement to check if an array of three characters is equal to another.
    Eg I have the following possible combinations:
    000
    111
    101
    010
    100
    001
    110
    011

    I want to check an array eg:
    bob[0]=1
    bob[1]=0
    bob[2]=1

    agains't the list to see which it is. Is this possible in a switch statement?

    Thanks

    Yes, but it's ugly and silly and massive and an else if construct works far better.
