C/Arduino switch case

I'm writing code on Arduino (very similar to C, which I don't know, or very little), and I have a little issue concerning the switch/case statement.

I need my Arduino to do this or that depending on the values of a potentiometer (0 to 1023). However, I have no clue how to tell it case "0 to 200". For example, I tried

case 0..250:
  blablaSomeCode;
  break;

And so on... How can I do it?

I don't really want to write case 1 case 2 case 3...

Solution

  • You will have to use a cascade of if's (also/especially if your value is a floating point number)

    int value= ...; 

if (value>=0 && value<=250 {
    // some code 0..250
}
else 
if (value>250 && value<=500) {
    // some code 251..500
}
else 
if (value>500 && value<=1000) {
    // etc.
}
else {
    // all other values (less than zero or 1001...)
}
