FUNCTION

NAME
        switch - case - Complicated conditional statement.


SYNTAX
	switch ( expression )
	{
	  case constant1:
	    
	  case constant2:
	    
	    break;
	  default:
	    
	}

DESCRIPTION
	'switch' evaluates the expression give and then executes one
	or more statement accordingly to the result. If the result is
	equal to constant1 then statement1 will be executed, please
	observe that the second case-statement dos _not_ abort the
	execution in any way instead statement2 will also be
	executed. After that break will cause execution to continue
	after the after the last } in the switch statement. If the
	result is equal to constant2 only statement2 will be
	executed. In all other cases statement3 is executed because it
	is 'default'. Please note that the expression and constant can
	be either integers or string, but they can _not_ be mixed in
	the same switch-statement.
