# SWITCH 

Execute different expressions based on the input value of an expression, useful when there are few possible values. Cleaner than long if chains.

```js
SWITCH(expression, case_a, result_a, ...case_result_n, default)
```

#### Parameters

* `expression` - Value to match to a case.
* `case_a` - Value that will be compared against expression.
* `result_a` - Value returned when the corresponding case matches the expression.
* `case_result_n` - More `case, result` as required. `(optional)`
* `default` - Default result if no matches are found.

#### Examples

```js
SWITCH("Monday", "Monday", "Today is monday", "Tuesday", "Today is tuesday", "Today is not either monday or tuesday")
```

**Result:** `Today is monday`

```js
SWITCH(5, 1, 100, 2, 200, 300)
```

**Result:** `300`
