For you programmer types...

Want to see a super annoying if, else statement?

I r t3h sux at programming, lol.

 if (tempStr == "OemTilde")
           {

           else if (tempStr == "Capital")
           {
               hasBeenChecked = " *Capslock* "; //I hate dealing with these...blah.
               return hasBeenChecked;
           }


           if (tempStr == "Oem5") 
                {

               if (shiftKeyDown == true)             //if the shift key is depressed (duh).
               {

[The G-Man]

wtf man. Why did you do that?

Well shit. I was going to copy it into my compiler and see wtf it does but I don't have any header statements or any definition to variables for a cin >>

[foamypirate]

It's all in C# .NET. I'll copy all the code in here later.

switch/case > you

[foamypirate]

Doesn't work in this particular case, at least very readily.

[Accord R33]

Doesn't work in this particular case, at least very readily.

Why?

Its definitely more elegant than if/else.

switch(tempStr){

	case "OEMTilde":
		do something'
		break;
	case "something else":

		if (this){
			do that;
		}
		else{
			do the other thing;
		}

		break;
	.
	.
	.
	.
	.

	case "one more":
		do this thing;
		break;

	default:
		error;
		break;
}

when i grow up i wanna be a programmer

[foamypirate]

D'oh! For some reason I forgot about nesting if's in switch/cases. LOL.

Being new at programming owns me.
