Switch case with conditions

Question

Am I writing the correct switch case?

var cnt = $(\"#div1 p\").length;
                alert(cnt);
                switch (cnt) {
                    case (c

Something I came upon while trying to work a spinner was to allow for flexibility within the script without the use of a ton of if statements.

Since this is a simpler solution than iterating through an array to check for a single instance of a class present it keeps the script cleaner. Any suggestions for cleaning the code further are welcome.

$('.next').click(function(){
        var imageToSlide = $('#imageSprite'); // Get id of image

        switch(true) {
            case (imageToSlide.hasClass('pos1')):
                imageToSlide.removeClass('pos1').addClass('pos2');
                break;
            case (imageToSlide.hasClass('pos2')):
                imageToSlide.removeClass('pos2').addClass('pos3');
                break;
            case (imageToSlide.hasClass('pos3')):
                imageToSlide.removeClass('pos3').addClass('pos4');
                break;
            case (imageToSlide.hasClass('pos4')):
                imageToSlide.removeClass('pos4').addClass('pos1');
        }
    }); `
