case construct...the easy way

[Tallguy]

Selective structures: Case Construct

Case construct is an efficient way to creating menus. It does not however allow the coder to do anything that an if statement can't do; it's just better at handling certain tasks. Try this

Turing:

var command: int loop put "Choose from 1 to 4:".. get command case command of label 1: put "Hi there" label 2: put "How are you? " label 3: put "Really?" label 4: put "Bye Bye" label: put "That is not an option " exit end case end loop

Notice that the final label functions similarly to an else.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to practice try these:

1) Write a traffic light program. The traffic light itself should be a graphic. It will flash a light colour at random.Ask the user what colour the light is and output the correct instructions for the chosen light colour.

2) Write a program that will convert the user's weight to the equivalent weight on any other planet.The user should be able to choose which planet.

3) Modify 2 such that a picture of the planet is displayed.

Again, I fixed up the post. Same comments as in the other one apply.
