How to use greater than or equal in a switch statement

Question

What is the best way to check if variable is bigger than some number using switch statement? Or you reccomend to use if-else? I found such an example:

int i;

i         


        

Answer 1

Java only supports direct values, not ranges in case statements, so if you must use a switch, mapping to options first, then switching on that, as in the example you provide is your only choice. However that is quite excessive - just use the if statements.
