Alternative to the “switch” Statement

Question

I do not want to use Switch in my code, so I\'m looking for some alternative

Example with Switch:

function write(what) {

  switch(w         


        

Answer 1

You could use object literals, and try catch to trap the default:

function write(what) {
    var colors = {
    'Blue': function(){ alert('Light-Blue'); },
    'Red': function(){ alert('Deep-Red'); },
    'Green': function(){ alert('Deep-Green'); }
    }
    try {colors[what]();}
    catch(err) {colors['Green']();}//default behaviour
}
write('Pink');
