Oh I see. I missed out one thing too. There is no need to put the same code under both case 7 & 6 separately, but just under case 6 will do. This is simpler in fact! Thanks Tedd and Torben! I'll fix to this style from now onwards. "tedd" <tedd.sperling@gmail.com> wrote in message news:p06240800c6b84328c140@[192.168.1.100]...

Hi Keith, Glad it works! I'm not sure how inverting the case statement helps you minimize the code in each case. As both I and Adam showed, you can do the same thing more efficiently (and IMHO much more readably) like this: switch ($sum) {
    case 8:
       break;
    case 7:
    case 6:
       break;
    case 2:
    case 1:
       break;
    case 0:
       break;
    default:
       break;
}
Additionally, I would argue there's nothing different below other than it's even more easier to read and understand: switch ($sum) {
    case 0:
    break;
    case 1:
    case 2:
    break;
    case 6:
    case 7:
    break;
    case 8:
    break;
    default:
    break;
