# Select variable

# Parameters

variable - any valid variable

# Description

This command allows you to set up a selection structure that, based on the value of the variable you feed it, will execute different commands in different CASEs. You can also specify a DEFAULT set of commands to happen if NONE of the CASEs are met. The selection structure is ended with an END SELECT command. This selection structure removes the need for large nested IF/THEN condition checking. See the example for more. See also: Case, Default, True, False, If.

# Example

; SELECT/CASE/DEFAULT/END SELECT Example ; Assign a random number 1-10 mission=Rnd(1,10) ; Start the selection process based on the value of 'mission' variable Select mission ; Is mission = 1? Case 1 Print "Your mission is to get the plutonium and get out alive!" ; Is mission = 2? Case 2 Print "Your mission is to destroy all enemies!" ; Is mission = 3? Case 3 Print "Your mission is to steal the enemy building plans!" ; What do do if none of the cases match the value of mission Default Print "Missions 4-10 are not available yet!" ; End the selection process End Select
