RE: an HP question...
Hello,

CASE exists because it is a "normal" "expected" programming command which is taught in algo classes and since Prime is an educational tool, it has been implemented.

It is not compiled as an if then else, but as a case function whith it's own handling. It does offer a "default"...

Personally, unless I know that case compiles to a jump table (as in a switch (a) where a is known between 0 and 15 (for example), then I will NEVER use case.

Although I work for the HP calculator group, the views and opinions I post here are my own. I do not speak for HP.
