Switch Statements

Switch Statements

HolyC's switch works like C's, with one powerful addition: range cases.

Basic Switch

I64 day = 3;
switch (day) {
  case 1: Print("Monday\n");    break;
  case 2: Print("Tuesday\n");   break;
  case 3: Print("Wednesday\n"); break;
  case 4: Print("Thursday\n");  break;
  case 5: Print("Friday\n");    break;
  default: Print("Weekend\n");  break;
}

Range Cases

HolyC extends switch with a range syntax using ...:

I64 score = 85;
switch (score) {
  case 90...100: Print("A\n"); break;
  case 80...89:  Print("B\n"); break;
  case 70...79:  Print("C\n"); break;
  case 60...69:  Print("D\n"); break;
  default:       Print("F\n"); break;
}

The range case 80...89: matches any value from 80 to 89, inclusive. This eliminates the need for a chain of if-else if comparisons.

Fall-Through

Without a break, execution falls through to the next case (same as C):

I64 x = 1;
switch (x) {
  case 1:
  case 2:
    Print("one or two\n");
    break;
  case 3:
    Print("three\n");
    break;
}

Your Task

Given I64 month = 7, use a switch with range cases to print the season:

• Months 3–5: Spring
• Months 6–8: Summer
• Months 9–11: Autumn
• Months 12, 1, 2: Winter
