1

00:00:00,820 --> 00:00:05,560

OK, how did you find that it should be fairly straightforward and if you like me, you would have used



2

00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:10,450

that second example because it fits our homework requirement quite well.



3

00:00:10,990 --> 00:00:13,360

So first, we have a variable that my age equals 60.



4

00:00:14,340 --> 00:00:16,380

We're going to switch the major variable.



5

00:00:17,990 --> 00:00:24,320

Between zero and 30, we're going to say you're young, 30 and 60, you're middle aged and default is



6

00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:25,830

your old grandpa.



7

00:00:26,420 --> 00:00:28,400

It's a free press play we should have.



8

00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,080

You are old now.



9

00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,070

You may see 60 here and think, why isn't this printing?



10

00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:43,290

Well, that's because we have less than 60, so 60 actually falls into the default category.



11

00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:49,010

That's pretty straightforward is how it goes, if you're six, you are young.



12

00:00:51,150 --> 00:00:57,690

OK, I hope you got that, and if you want to read up about switch cases, then I'd advise you go to



13

00:00:58,020 --> 00:01:03,060

just search for swift coding language on Google and you'll come up to the official website that Apple



14

00:01:03,060 --> 00:01:05,550

produce that run you through all these examples.



15

00:01:05,550 --> 00:01:09,960

You'll see some of these examples there as well, because they were the best ones that I found, to



16

00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:10,410

be honest.



17

00:01:11,940 --> 00:01:17,670

OK, the final thing I want to say about which case, if we scroll up here is look how neat this is,



18

00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:18,830

right?



19

00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,740

I can see by one glance what all the cases are.



20

00:01:23,070 --> 00:01:28,280

If you juxtapose this to the ifs, I'll just copy it from my notes with the IFS.



21

00:01:31,470 --> 00:01:32,070

Here it is.



22

00:01:32,490 --> 00:01:35,100

So if we have the if else here.



23

00:01:40,050 --> 00:01:47,010

Now, this, if else, is only three sections, but because each section isn't the same length with



24

00:01:47,010 --> 00:01:52,950

these if statements and there are lots of different words floating around, that's not good for our



25

00:01:52,950 --> 00:01:55,530

weak human brains, that should be else.



26

00:01:56,190 --> 00:02:02,580

It's not good for our weak human brains in terms of understanding the pattern and flow as opposed to



27

00:02:02,730 --> 00:02:05,710

this, which is much, much more readable.



28

00:02:06,090 --> 00:02:12,750

So if I were you, I'd go with switch case wherever it makes sense as a preference over if else.
