How to implement switch-case statement in Kotlin

Question

How to implement equivalent of following Java switch statement code in Kotlin?

switch (5) {
    case 1:
    // Do code
    break;
    case 2:
    // Do code
    break;
    case 3:
    // Do code
    break;
}

Answer 1

You could do it like this:

when (x) {
    1 -> print("x == 1")
    2 -> print("x == 2")
    else -> { // Note the block
        print("x is neither 1 nor 2")
    }
}
