switch-statement

Why switch expressions of type 'System::Guid' are illegal?

void Foo(Type^ type) { System::Guid id = type->GUID; switch (id) { case System::Byte::typeid->GUID: ... break; ... } Obviously case expressions are not constant. But I'd like to know why GUIDs cannot be known at compile time? (silly question I guess). At the end of the day it looks you have to use imbricated if the...

In Tcl is whitespace equal to Empty string?

In Tcl are these equivalent? I.e. will trailing white space be fed as an option or parsed out? Should I "string trim" the value or i...

Are .Net switch statements hashed or indexed?

Does .Net 4 (or any prior version) perform any sort of optimization on longer switch statements based on strings? I'm working around a potential performance bottleneck due to some long switch statements looking for matching strings in the cases, and I've always assumed these are searched in linear time (or near linear, i.e. not using a...

"if" versus "switch"

Possible Duplicate: is else if faster than switch() case ? I've encountered a lot of situations lately where I have very simple conditionals and need to branch application flow.

Expression inside switch case statement

Hi everyone, I'm trying to create a switch statement but I can't seem to be able to use an expression that gets evaluated (rather than a set string/integer). I can easily do this with if statements but case should hopefully be faster. I'm trying the following function reward(amount) { var $reward = $("#reward"); switch (amount...

Python lazy dictionary evaluation

The problem is that all values are being evaluated some and raising exceptions depending on the input. This is just a dumb example of a class that stores a number or ...

JavaScript switch case: anyway to force the order of the elements as they are written out?

I've got results being returned to a Google Mapping application in the div sidebar. The results are names of businesses that belong to categories that the client wants returned in a certain order.
