javascript switch(true)
It works for me:
var a = 0, b = true;
switch(true) {
case a:
console.log('a');
break;
case b:
console.log('b');
break;
}
However, the case
labels must be equal to true
, not jut implicitly true.
Also, only the first case that evaluates to true
will execute.
SOLVED
Based on SLaks answer i modify the code as below
if(j.choice1){ var choice1=true;} else { var choice1=false;}
if(j.choice2){ var choice2=true;} else { var choice2=false;}
switch(true)
{
case choice1:
alert("choice1");
break;
case choice2:
alert("choice2");
break;
default:
alert("default");
break;
}
For all asking why switch and not if.
Switch will execute only 1 statement, but if can execute more than 1 if any mistake come form response (for example if set choice1 and choice 2 the if will alert both but switch will alert only choice1).
The response expecting as choice has to do with credit card charge to bank so i want to ensure that only 1 action will exetute
Thank to all
You need to read up on the switch
statement. You should not be switching on a constant value.
It appears that you need to use if statements, as you don't really want to be switching on your j
value:
success: function (j) {
if (j.choice1)
{
alert("choice1");
break;
}
if (j.choice2)
{
alert("choice2");
break;
}
alert("default");
}
}
