I agree that one should learn if/then conditionals before switch/case structures. But I think one should learn if/thens before elses as well. You can certainly do any conditional processing without else statements, but I think it would be unwise to say that it's easier to code and read code written without else statements. Switch statements are the equivalent of multiple-choice questions on an exam. You could code them as many if/then statements, but they lend themselves naturally (IMO) to switch/case statements. -- -Mark Wieder [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
