Re^2: fall through switch/case in perl

in thread fall through switch/case in perl

You missed his note about "fall through" ala C.

In his example, a value of '5' would produce "fghij". A value of '2' would produce "ij". Velaki's code recognizes this better.

But I wonder if he might ever have var set to zero? (No output!)

The comment that your code is wrong and does not fall through is accurate. I did run the code, not that it necessary. Set $var to 10 it prints only 'a' and does not fall through the b c d cases as with a C fall through. cheers tachyon	[reply]

Yes — doy. Execution does fall through to the next condition, but I missed the fact that that alone doesn't make the condition true. Out of my mind, back in five minutes. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
