[JASS] Is there an "In Case of" syntax in JASS?

[emperor_d3st]

Hi, I was wondering if there is an In Case of syntax in JASS.
In other programming languages (delphi, for example) this serves as many ifs, for example:

In Case of YourInteger
1: yourcodeshere
2: here too please

Would have the same effect as:

If YourInteger == 1 then
yourcodeshere
else
If Youriteger == 2 then
your codes here too again please
endif
endif

Just the in case of syntax is much shorter, and much easier on the eye.

No .

Like switch, in C?

No. Besides, it's quite useless, considering it can easily be written in a different manner.

 

[emperor_d3st]

Yep, like that. Well thanks then.
By the way, what do you mean it can easily be written in a different manner?
I always thought it's useful since you can write your code faster and it improves the overall visibility of your code.

if YourInteger == 1 then
yourcodeshere
else
if Youriteger == 2 then
your codes here too again please
endif
endif

if YourInteger == 1 then
yourcodeshere
elseif Youriteger == 2 then
your codes here too again please
endif

if != If

Yea, I know, but how is this shorter than 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: ...? Nevermind, so there is no syntax like this. Thanks.

Last time I checked, it was (in C)

switch (YourInteger) {
    case 1:
        blahblah
        break;
    case 2:
        blahblah
        break;
    case 3:
        blahblah
        break;
    ...
}

Or replacing switch with case and case with when, for Ruby. (And also, block syntax instead of brace syntax).

Never seen it like that, though.

While it might be sort of nice, it is a kind of feature which is pretty much useless in terms of application in Wc3 other than pretty code.

May I ask why ?

 

[emperor_d3st]

Just the in case of syntax is much shorter, and much easier on the eye.

Do I really need more reason for that? :S

 

[Need_O2]

hmm lets see

if a == 1 then
actions
elseif a == 2 then
actions
endif

switch (a)
{
case 1;
actions;
break;
case 2;
actions;
break;
}

dont think there is more to say

 

[emperor_d3st]

Hmm let's see..

case a of
0: ShowMessage('please');
1: ShowMessage('learn');
2: ShowMessage('some');
3: ShowMessage('delphi');
else
ShowMessage('you won't be able to write short case syntaxes like this');
end;

I don't think there is more to say.

ask Pizzter Mike to make it lul (or whatever its)

or make a syntax liek vJASS

 

[emperor_d3st]

I just called him, but he hung up. Nevermind, I'll manage somehow in the jungle of 435 ifs (Damn you, Pitzer Mike.. or who)
