LOL. *whistling sound of bomb dropping* can anyone tell me how to handle a situation where one might want to have multiple options or cases in a logical statement>? If else type stuff.
I have more than two cases though

Use the boolean AND/OR statements

If (condition) { action } else if (condition) { action } else { action }
Ahh .. stuff like that ..

Or switch

If ( this || orthis ) { action } else if ( this && andthis ) { action }

kadamat: er... switch/case ?

So, could it be if (condition) { action } else if (condition) { action } else { action } -------------and then an infinite number of continued else { action } else { action } else { action } ?

Yeah .. switch if the LHS of the comparison is always the same
kadamat, no, only one will ever get called

So switch is better for this?
