switch/case

[Helgi Tomasson]

What is the current status on the switch case .  In the enclosed program

octave -2.0.16 does not like that method can be either a 6 characer
thing
or an 8 character thing.  If I add two blanks, i.e.

method='linear  '

and similarly in the case statement thing seem OK.

function  method(method,...)

switch method;
case  'linear';
     disp ('method is linear');
case 'bilinear';
     disp ('method is bilinear');
endswitch;
endfunction


In Matlab I think the following should work

switch method;
  case {'linear','quasi-linear'};
    disp ('method is linear or quasi-linear'};
  case 'bilinear';
     disp ('method is bilinear');
 endswitch;

sincerely yours
