Wow... that may be the easiest homework problem I've ever seen posted on one of these boards.
My best guess is that the compiler determined the brute force way wasn't too bad with 4 cases. Either that, or MS wants you to buy the pro compiler to get the benefits of using jump tables in...
I love K&R (aka, The C Programming Language). You never feel like you're just writing some crap or a toy program in it. You begin writing really useful programs from page 15 on. If you have Linux,...
Did you compile with no optimization? A switch statement shouldn't result in comparisons being done for every possible value (the list of cmp and je statements bunched together in the first example)....
If I had one suggestion, it would be not to learn C++ as a first language. I love C++ and the power it gives, but C++ is really like a bunch of very different languages bunched together.
Another...
As I understand it, switch statement is kind of like an array of instructions. A jump table is created, which is like an array of pointers to the code for each case. I.e., for case 1, the code at...
