Multiple cases in switch statement


Is there a way to fall through multiple case statements without stating case value: repeatedly?

I know this works:

switch (value)
{
   case 1:
   case 2:
   case 3:
      // Do some stuff
      break;
   case 4:
   case 5:
   case 6:
      // Do some different stuff
      break;
   default:
       // Default stuff
      break;
}

but I'd like to do something like this:

switch (value)
{
   case 1,2,3:
      // Do something
      break;
   case 4,5,6:
      // Do something
      break;
   default:
      // Do the Default
      break;
}

Is this syntax I'm thinking of from a different language, or am I missing something?


Solution

  • There is no syntax in C++ nor C# for the second method you mentioned.

    There's nothing wrong with your first method. If however you have very big ranges, just use a series of if statements.
