Case Statement Help Needed

[princess]

ok... am i allowed to use array values in case statements??
if i am how do case statements work....
oh and wat is enum... cause that works in a case statement right??

[tum_twish]

case <Expression> of

label <value>:

<Expressions>

[label...]

end case

Expressions are usually variables and values are the possible values of the variable

Sorry, I dont know enums

enum means enumerated type

code:

enum ( id { , id } )

The values of an enumerated type are distinct and increasing. They can be thought of as the values 0, 1, 2 and so on, but arithmetic is not allowed with these values.

code:

type color : enum ( red, green, blue ) var c : color := color . red var d : color := succ ( c )        % d becomes green

Each value of an enumerated type is the name of the type followed by a dot followed by the the element's name, for example, color.red. Enumerated values can be compared for equality and for ordering. The succ and pred functions can be used to find the value following or preceding a given enumerated value. The ord function can be used to find the enumeration position of a value, for example, ord (color.red) is 0. Enumerated types cannot be combined with integers or with other enumerated types. In OOT, it is illegal to declare an "anonymous" enum. The only legal declaration for an enum is in a type declaration. For example, the following is now illegal:

code:

var a : array enum (red, green, blue ) of int

Given that there is no (easy) way of generating an enum value without it being a named type, this should not impact any but the most bizarre code. In OOT, the "put" and "get" statement semantics have been expanded to allow put's and get's of enum values. The values printed and input are the element names themselves, case sensitive. For example, for

code:

type colosr : enum ( red, green, blue ) var c : colors := colors . red put c        % outputs "red" (without the quotes)
