Re: switch vs elseif

I regret that I don't recall who made the brilliant observation that programmers spend the majority of their time *reading* code (their own or others) as opposed to *writing* code. So, I make it a point to try to make my code easily scannable. I only and always use the switch construct when evaluating the value of a single variable. The switch then tells me that at a glance when I'm reading code, and I don't have to plow through a bunch of elseif clauses to get the big picture of what the code is doing. The bottom line for me on this issue is the "bottom line" - productivity. Kirk
