C# Switch statement | | |
Is it possible to have ranges or patterns in a case ?
If not, why wasnt this designed in to make it easier instead of listing
every case value needed?

You should get a beginner's C# book and start reading it.

I am trying to install MIS 2002 Trial I downloaded from the MS site but I
get the following errors.
How can I fix this and get it installing? Any ideas?

Yes, like this:
using System;
class Test
{
public static void Main()
{
int x;
x=Convert.ToInt16(Console.ReadLine());
switch (x)
{
case 1:
case 2:
case 3:
Console.WriteLine("Is 1 2 3");
break;
case 4:
case 5:
case 6:
Console.WriteLine("Is 4 5 6");
break;
default:
Console.WriteLine("Is greater than 6");
break;
}
}
}
However, you can't do greater than/less than (i.e. case 4 to 6) like
you could do in VB. You'll have to use if/else statements for that.

I think they followed C too closely. C, in turn, was designed to be easy to
compile. | | | | re: C# Switch statement
I love C#. But I strongly disagree with M$ C# team on the design of the
switch-break statement.
C# does not allow automatic fall through for each case statement, yet it
requires a mandatory and useless break statement. It's completely insane to
have such a design. The break statement is compeletely NOT NECESSARY!
I understand they want to make programmers make LESS errors by breaking
C/C++ goodness (e.g., range of values). But those errors caused by
case-break pair never get in my way throughout 8 years of C/C++ programming
experience. Actually I've never made a mistake when coding case-break's.
I think they might want to give a compiler warning when there is no break
statement after a case statement. That's the best way keeping C/C++ goodness
yet giving programmers much, much less chance for making errors.

It is a half yes. See Stan's reply in this thread.

It's also because a 'switch' can be optimized a lot better. You are
checking a single value against a series of constants, and code can be
generated to do that which is faster than the code for the corresponding
'if' statements. For instance, the value being checked can be loaded into a
register once, and then checked against the constants, which can be
immediate data in the opcodes.
One could write a compiler to detect that the bunch of 'if's are all
checking a single value against a series of constants, and maybe some do
that (probably C compilers, if any), and thus get code as good as a
'switch'.
Also, when a 'switch' uses continuous case values (no gaps), you can build
a jump table, which is even better. Lots of C compilers do this.
Lexers typically rely on such switch statement optimizations for speed when
they handle the next character in the input stream, as an example where it
pays off. Of course, the compiler doesn't know you're compiling a lexer, it
just generates better code for switches, either way.

OMG, I thought it is not allowed to do this!
I read MSDN again, and find this:
Although fall through from one case label to another is not supported, it is
allowed to stack case labels, for example:
case 0:
case 1:
// do something;

Sorry, I want to correct a small part of my comment. See Stan's reply in
this thread above this post.
C# does allow the old way of 'stacking' case's.
<msdn>
Although fall through from one case label to another is not supported, it is
allowed to stack case labels, for example:
case 0:
case 1:
// do something; </msdn>
But do not put any code (comment is OK) after case 0 or case 1, otherwise
the non-fall-through compiler error will get you.

Bullshit.

1..9 or 1 to 9 seems to be 'clean' code.
But, the real truth is that I think the stack of case's is cleaner code.
And, as a C/C++ programmer, we guard cautiously our religion principles :-).
We do not want to borrow something from another religion.

C# isnt C/C++, thats the point MC++ is just a strap on for .NET C# was
designed from the ground up for .NET yet they left things as it was, and now
we're gettin partial types and lambada funtions (anonymous methods) expect
spaghetii code now, generic types is the only real biggie comming in 04 that
I can see, the rest is just gonna cause more problems later on I think.

Yes, there is no absolute EQUALITY in this world. So C# != C/C++. I quite
agree.
But C# borrows or inherits much of C/C++'s language infrastructures. So what
I said in my previous post is applicable to C#.
BTW, what is Microsoft Product Deactivation Team? Is it funded by M$? :-p

Hi,

Maybe YOU don't (doubtful), but many people do. Hence the design decision.
You almost never want a case statement to fall through if there is code in
it.. so enforcing an explicit break or goto makes perfect sense. Isn't it
this same case that was the reason goto was kept in c# (just to move between
cases in switch statements)?

Well, I agree that it's possible to execute a piece of code for more than
one value, but that's not exactly what he meant ... because you have to
write down the "case"-part, which you would not have to do if you could use
a range like in VB.NET. But ok, let's call it a "half yes ..." :-)).

It's a feature vs. complexity thing.. While we agree that there are cases
where case ranges are useful, we don't think that their usefullness above
what you get with a simple series of if statements outweighs the increase in
complexity.

So a little thing like that that may aid code readability is not good but
adding crap like Lambada functions (anonymous methods) and partial types (
to aid splitting source files) that is good?
You have the BCLs make an entire pigs mess of VSplits and HSplits and you
say thats good?
Yet adding a simple thing like ranges into a case in the switch construct is
bad because you cant be assed to handle the complexity?
Pass the bong.

I agree. However, what about adding syntax like this:
switch (num)
{
case 1 to 5:
//code
break;
}
and translate it to the appropriate IL as if it were written like:
switch (num)
{
case 1:
case 2:
case 3:
case 4:
case 5:
//code
break;
}
As this allows increased readability and is easily maintainable?
Thanks,

That is complex??
But theyre adding Lambada funtions (anonymous methods) and Partial types!!!
Thats even MORE complex and POINTLESS !!!

True, but language features should be designed around what many people will
find useful. Requiring a break or goto statement means you will get a
compile time error.. the alternative is an annoying-to-debug runtime
error -- which would you prefer? I would rather not debug a runtime error
just so the fraction of programmers who never make these mistakes will not
be so irritated with the switch statement (they can just use if-else if they
don't like it).
It should be noted that this is generation of a compile time error is
reminiscent of C++ (where strong typing generated compile time errors, and C
would only produce runtime errors). It's just taken one step further.
Pete | | | | re: C# Switch statement
yeah i know its a joke duh
Lambda functions will lead to spagheti code, look at the use of them today
in other languages... Dont be so nieve that it wont be.
yes there are places when they may help but I really am worried about the
misuse of them.
Seems to be in the next release they will be added.
Same for partial types, if you need those, think about the design.
Generic types however are long overdue.

Both partial types and anonymous methods allow us to deal with situations
where C# does not work very well, and therefore the benefit that they bring
is higher than the benefit that case ranges would bring.
Partial types will let us segregate Windows Forms code into
designer-generated code and user code. That will make the model much easier.
There are other scenarios, but that's the primary one.
Anonymous methods are very useful in a case where you need a small bit of
code to pass as a delegate. If you put it in a separate method, you end up
with a disconnect between the small bit of code and where it's actually
used, which makes it harder to understand what's going on. If used for
scenarios such as this, anonymous methods will make your code more readable.
There is the chance for abuse with both features.

I'd have to see some actual code to understand how common this was and
whether it made sense to have a syntax for it. If it were only cases 1 - 5,
you'd obviously write it with a single-clause if. If there are a lot more
cases, I might be persuaded that it would be clearer to have a range. It
would take a fair bit of data to understand what people were really doing
and what the result of a new feature would be.
My experience is that switch statements are fairly rare in OO code.

Nope and you don't seem to want to tell us.
However, I saw you recommend somewhere to someone who lost his XP serial to
"get a key generator."
I cannot imagine someone from MS telling that.
