case — Jump label that starts a branch within a switch block.
case( : : Constant : )
case defines a jump label within a switch block. It starts a branch that is executed if the value of the control expression of the switch statement matches the constant integer expression that is defined in Constant. For this parameter only constant integer expressions are accepted. Variable expressions and other data types are not allowed.
As in the programming languages C, C++, and C# the case statement does not open a block that is automatically left at the next case or default statement. In contrast, it works just like a goto label that is accessed if the label matches. In order to leave a case branch and continue execution after the end of the switch block, the break statement can be used anywhere within the switch block.
Constant integer expressions that determines for which value of the switch control expression the branch is accessed.
Default value: 1
case (as an operator) always returns 2 (H_MSG_TRUE).
