Am I writing the correct switch case?
var cnt = $("#div1 p").length;
alert(cnt);
switch (cnt) {
case (cnt >= 10 && cnt <= 20):
alert('10');
break;
case (cnt >= 21 && cnt <= 30):
alert('21');
break;
case (cnt >= 31 && cnt <= 40):
alert('31');
break;
default:
alert('>41');
}
For some reason, the alert does not occur when the conditions are matched!
You should not use switch
for this scenario. This is the proper approach:
var cnt = $("#div1 p").length;
alert(cnt);
if (cnt >= 10 && cnt <= 20)
{
alert('10');
}
else if (cnt >= 21 && cnt <= 30)
{
alert('21');
}
else if (cnt >= 31 && cnt <= 40)
{
alert('31');
}
else
{
alert('>41');
}
A switch works by comparing what is in switch()
to every case
.
switch (cnt) {
case 1: ....
case 2: ....
case 3: ....
}
works like:
if (cnt == 1) ...
if (cnt == 2) ...
if (cnt == 3) ...
Therefore, you can't have any logic in the case statements.
switch (cnt) {
case (cnt >= 10 && cnt <= 20): ...
}
works like
if (cnt == (cnt >= 10 && cnt <= 20)) ...
and that's just nonsense. :)
Use if () { } else if () { } else { }
instead.
This should work with this :
var cnt = $("#div1 p").length;
switch (true) {
case (cnt >= 10 && cnt <= 20):
alert('10');
break;
case (cnt >= 21 && cnt <= 30):
alert('21');
break;
case (cnt >= 31 && cnt <= 40):
break;
default:
alert('>41');
}
Something I came upon while trying to work a spinner was to allow for flexibility within the script without the use of a ton of if statements.
Since this is a simpler solution than iterating through an array to check for a single instance of a class present it keeps the script cleaner. Any suggestions for cleaning the code further are welcome.
$('.next').click(function(){
var imageToSlide = $('#imageSprite'); // Get id of image
switch(true) {
case (imageToSlide.hasClass('pos1')):
imageToSlide.removeClass('pos1').addClass('pos2');
break;
case (imageToSlide.hasClass('pos2')):
imageToSlide.removeClass('pos2').addClass('pos3');
break;
case (imageToSlide.hasClass('pos3')):
imageToSlide.removeClass('pos3').addClass('pos4');
break;
case (imageToSlide.hasClass('pos4')):
imageToSlide.removeClass('pos4').addClass('pos1');
}
}); `
What you are doing is to look for (0) or (1) results.
(cnt >= 10 && cnt <= 20) returns either true or false.
--edit--
you can't use case with boolean (logic) experessions. The statement cnt >= 10 returns zero for false or one for true. Hence, it will we case(1) or case(0) which will never match to the length.

function date_conversion(start_date){
var formattedDate = new Date(start_date);
var d = formattedDate.getDate();
var m = formattedDate.getMonth();
var month;
m += 1; // JavaScript months are 0-11
switch (m) {
case 1: {
month="Jan";
break;
}
case 2: {
month="Feb";
break;
}
case 3: {
month="Mar";
break;
}
case 4: {
month="Apr";
break;
}
case 5: {
month="May";
break;
}
case 6: {
month="Jun";
break;
}
case 7: {
month="Jul";
break;
}
case 8: {
month="Aug";
break;
}
case 9: {
month="Sep";
break;
}
case 10: {
month="Oct";
break;
}
case 11: {
month="Nov";
break;
}
case 12: {
month="Dec";
break;
}
}
var y = formattedDate.getFullYear();
var now_date=d + "-" + month + "-" + y;
return now_date;
}
Switch case is every help full instead of if else statement :
switch ($("[id*=btnSave]").val()) {
case 'Search':
saveFlight();
break;
case 'Update':
break;
case 'Delete':
break;
default:
break;
}
