SV>> And in C it doesn't, that is, it continues the loop enclosing the switch. SV>> I think we should have behavior similar to C here, anything else would be SV>> confusing. The C behavior is more useful too I think. I think C behaviour is most confusing (which is no wonder given how many confusing behaviours C has). Why "break" works on switch and its brother "continue" works on enclosing loop? Oh, just because C makers were short on words and constantly used same keywords to represent different things? Not good enough. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Products Engineer stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ +972-3-6139665 ext.115
