Select Case range of values

[kenif]

A case statement that allowed a range of values would be very helpful. As it is, I can't find any syntax that works (>5 AND <20, for instance, is a dud)

SELECT CASE var
CASE 27 TO 53
END SELECT

Is there a workaround, short of building a long CASE staircase?

That's what I thought too. &nbsp; But when I tried it in a test program, it didn't work.
It's not in the manual, even though it compiles without warnings. &nbsp; So I wasn't sure if it was valid.

I asked meLabs, and they said ...
"SELECT CASE isn't capable of logic in the cases. Never has been."

I quess you'll need to use IF statements instead of SELECT CASE.

IF (A >= 5) AND (A <= 20) THEN
    ; something
ELSE
    IF (A > 20) AND (A <= 40) THEN
         ; something else
    ENDIF
ENDIF

Hi,

A VAR BYTE

SELECT CASE A


    CASE IS > 5 AND IS < 20
        ' do your stuff...
    CASE IS < 40 AND NOT 35
            ' do your stuff...
END SELECT

could be Written

SELECT CASE A

    CASE IS <= 5 

    CASE IS < 20
        LCDOUT $FE,2, " < 20 " , DEC3 A
        
    CASE 35

    CASE IS < 40
        LCDOUT $FE,2, " < 40 " , DEC3 A

   CASE ELSE

END SELECT

CASE A left "blank" works fine...
