I imagined the original poster would end up with a mixture, depending how
many ranges he has, and how many individual values:
if (..check range...) {
}
else {
switch(..)
...
}
switch (true) {
case expression1:
...
case expression2:
..
strikes me as odd. But clever!
In a function, I also have no problem with mutliple returns from a function
as long as they're not buried deep in lots of code:
if (...)
return x;
if (...)
return y;
as opposed to a long series of else clauses.
