[Solved] iterating over cases in c++ switch statement? [closed]

by


It’s possible. You’ve accidentally written an infinite loop because you’re not incrementing x, which you probably want to do after the switch.

But if you just want to run those 3 blocks of code in that order, why not just have those 3 blocks of code in that order? You gain absolutely nothing by wrapping them up in the loop and the switch. Let’s say you wrote 3 functions. This block of code:

while(x<4){
    switch(x)
    {
        case 1:
           f1();
           break;
        case 2:
           f2();
           break;
        case 3:
           f3();
           break;
    }
    x++;
  }

is exactly the same as:

   f1();
   f2();
   f3();

If there is a lot of similarity between the stuff you would put in each of these 3 functions, perhaps write one function and call it 3 times, with slightly different parameters.
