Hi,
I would just like a little clarification of the use of 'switch case', most of the examples I have looked at showed examples where only one of the 'case' are true. I have not found an explanation that makes it clear I can return any number of true or positive values.
My example, I have a number and want to ask 5 questions and execute code/function at all true values. All questions may be true, false or any combination in between.
switch 25
case >20
do a
case mod(3)
do b
case ==5^2
do c
end
Does the code execute every 'case' irrelevant of previous answer, if so do I use break or continue to exit the switch.
Regards,
AD

In MATLAB switch blocks, only the first matching case executes:
result = 52;
switch(result)
case 52
disp('result is 52')
case {52, 78}
disp('result is 52 or 78')
end
This code returns
result is 52
Hope this clarifies your questions!

I wonder why that's not so obvious, considering the number of such questions here!

Ok,
So it only executes the first true answer before exiting the 'switch case' statement. So to perform a number of queries on a variable and execute each time a true statement is returned I would have to write successive 'if end' statements.
x = 25;
if x > 20
do a;
end
if mod(x,n)
do b;
end
if x == 5^2
do c;
end
...
Sorry this was not 100% clear when I read those docs which was why I requested clarification. Or hoping someone would direct me to an alternative function that may have been more suitable.
Thanks,
