The JavaScript Switch Statement
You should use the switch statement if you want to select one of many blocks of
code to be executed.
Syntax
switch(n)
{
case 1:
execute code block 1
break;
case 2:
execute code block 2
break;
default:
code to be executed if n is
different from case 1 and 2
}
|
This is how it works: First we have a single expression n (most often a
variable), that is evaluated once. The value of the expression is then compared
with the values for each case in the structure. If there is a match, the block
of code associated with that case is executed. Use break to prevent the
code from running into the next case automatically.
Example
<script type="text/javascript">
//You will receive a different greeting based
//on what day it is. Note that Sunday=0,
//Monday=1, Tuesday=2, etc.
var d=new Date();
theDay=d.getDay();
switch (theDay)
{
case 5:
document.write("Finally Friday");
break;
case 6:
document.write("Super Saturday");
break;
case 0:
document.write("Sleepy Sunday");
break;
default:
document.write("I'm looking forward to this weekend!");
}
</script>
