    new to c++

    i just got finish reading the tut. up to case switching and i was woundering if you could set the case to accept values under 5. it would
    also be nice to know it you could make one case accpet more then one value.
    if this is explained in a different tut. just tell me and i will read though it
    many thanks

    Values under 5? I am not sure what you mean by this, but a switch can catch any int out there. You can have cases accept multiple values as well. (to an extent)

    Code:
    switch( val )
    {
    case 0:
    case 1:
    case 2:
           //do something
           break;
    case 3:
           //do something else
           break;
    default:
           break;
    }

    it doesn't have to be an integer:
    Code:
    switch(reply)
    {
    case 'y':
    case 'Y':
    	break;
    default:
    	loop=FALSE;
    	break;
    }

    True enough but since he mentioned integer I figured it would be best to stick to one var at a time .

    And the tutorial is on the main cprog website, lots of good tutorials written by members of this board, I would recommend it to anyone who has basic questions on lots of things.
