Robert, in general it is always possible to avoid "switch" statements altogether and use "if...else" chains instead. However, in many cases a "switch" will make the code clearer and will make the program flow more obvious to understand. It's in most cases a matter of taste. At least for me. As mentioned, there are enough cases when a "switch" simply doesn't work; in those cases you will have to use "if... else if..." chains. Regards, Nico
