Using switch statement with a range of value in each case?

In Java, is it possible to write a switch statement where each case contains more than one value? For example (though clearly the following code won't work):

switch (num) {
    case 1 .. 5:
        System.out.println("testing case 1 to 5");
        break;
    case 6 .. 10:
        System.out.println("testing case 6 to 10");
        break;
}

I think this can be done in Objective C, are there a similar thing in Java? Or should I just use if, else if statements instead?

Java has nothing of that sort. Why not just do the following?

public static boolean isBetween(int x, int lower, int upper) {
  return lower <= x && x <= upper;
}

if (isBetween(num, 1, 5)) {
  System.out.println("testing case 1 to 5");
} else if (isBetween(num, 6, 10)) {
  System.out.println("testing case 6 to 10");
}

The closest you can get to that kind of behavior with switch statements is

switch (num) {
case 1:
case 2:
case 3:
case 4:
case 5:
     System.out.println("1 through 5");
     break;
case 6:
case 7:
case 8:
case 9:
case 10:
     System.out.println("6 through 10");
     break;
}

Use if statements.

other alternative is using math operation by dividing it, for example:

switch ((int) num/10) {
    case 1:
        System.out.println("10-19");
        break;
    case 2:
        System.out.println("20-29");
        break;
    case 3:
        System.out.println("30-39");
        break;
    case 4:
        System.out.println("40-49");
        break;
    default:
        break;
}

But, as you can see this can only be used when the range is fixed in each case.

I don't think you can do that in Java. Best bet is to just put the code in the last case of the range.

switch (num) {
  case 1: case 2: case 3: case 4: case 5: 
     System.Out.Println("testing case 1 to 5");
     break;
  case 6: case 7: case 8: case 9: case 10:
     System.Out.Println("testing case 6 to 10");
     break;
  default:
     //
}

I know this post is old but I believe this answer deserves some recognition. There is no need to avoid the switch statement. This can be done in java but through the switch statement, not the cases. It involves using ternary operators.

public class Solution {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        int num = Integer.parseInt(sc.nextLine());

        switch ((1 <= num && num <= 5 ) ? 0 :
                (6 <= num && num <= 10) ? 1 : 2) {

            case 0:
                System.out.println("I'm between one and five inclusive.");
                break;
            case 1:
                System.out.println("I'm between 6 and 10 inclusive.");
                break;
            case 2:
                System.out.println("I'm not between one and five or 6 and 10 inclusive.");
                break;
        }
    }
}
