BlitzMax Request: expression ranges.

JoJo	(Posted 2005) [#1]

Would it be to much trouble to implement something like this using the Select block?

Select MouseX()
   Case 100 To 200
   Case 201 To 300
   Case 301 to 400
End Select

I think this would be good so you won't have to use if/else stmts.

Heres a way ...

m=MouseX()
Select True
 Case (m>=1 And m<=4)
 Case m=5,m=6,m=7
 Case m=8,(m=9 Or m=10)
End Select
Print
Next

Personally, I don't think this should be included.

Local MX:Int = MouseX()
If MX > 100 And MX < 200 Then
ElseIf MX > 200 And MX < 300 Then
ElseIf MX > 300 And MX < 400 Then
EndIf

While I do thing that the ranges make code look better, I don't think they're really neccessary.

Yeah. Use "Select True".
