Using a switch for multiple character, now!
To Whomever can Help Me;
You've shown me that you can use switch for single characters, but what about for a range of characters. For example, entering a char between C and W does the same thing for any char between those 2 chars. A, B, X, Y, and Z are there own separate switches. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Code:switch(value) { case 'A' : DoStuff();break; case 'B' : DoOtherStuff();break; case 'X' : DoSomethingCompletelyDifferent();break; case 'Y' : DoEndOfMicrosoft();break; case 'C' : case 'D' : case 'E' : case 'F' : case 'G': case 'H': . . . case 'V': case 'W': DoNormFunc();break; default: DoBigScrewUp(); }
Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!

I would use if statements for that
A switch is more readable and therefore better maintainable.
yes, i agree. i always use switch before if.
This would probably be easier in an if because you could do if(input > 'someletter' && input < 'otherletter')
instead of doing case 'a': case 'b': etc etc
