I'm a die-hard switch/case guy, but I agree with Steven on this. Neither is
inherently easier or harder to read.

Of course, I personally prefer switch statements, but I think it's a matter
of style. Steven's example is every bit as readable as a switch statement.

Also, with switch statements, you have to be careful about nesting switch
statements. I've seen switch statements with nested switches that are 3-4
pages long. There has to be a better way to write code than that.

Cordially,

Kerry Thompson
