otherwise - Default part of switch statement

Syntax

switch switch_expr
 case case_expr
    statement, ..., statement
  case {case_expr1, case_expr2, case_expr3, ...}
    statement, ..., statement
  otherwise
    statement, ..., statement
end

Description

otherwise is part of the switch statement syntax, which allows for conditional execution. The statements following otherwise are executed only if none of the preceding case expressions (case_expr) matches the switch expression (sw_expr).

Examples

The general form of the switch statement is

switch sw_expr
    case case_expr
        statement
        statement
    case {case_expr1,case_expr2,case_expr3}
        statement
        statement
    otherwise
        statement
        statement
end
