Switch Case statement in Ninox

Another great structure in Ninox that can help you in the automatization of your processes is a Switch Case statement. Simple syntax, fewer lines of code, and faster result in your app. 

Please check the video with samples, and read below about the keywords & syntax:

 KEYWORDS:

switch ... do - is an opening word

case -  is used to select one of many code blocks for execution

default -  used to specify the code executed when the expression does not match any test case (optional)

end - obligatory

 SYNTAX:

switch ChoiceField do
case 1:"Monday"
case 2:"Tuesday"
case 3:"Saturday"
case 4:"Sunday"
default:"No choice has been made!"
end

 There are some things to be remembered while using switch case in Ninox:

• Two cases cannot have the same value
• The data type of variable in the switch needs to be the same as all test cases' values
• The test case values need not be in order (ascending or descending)
• Nesting is allowed, but it makes the program more complex

 Fewer lines of code are always better!

Have fun with Ninox!
