Switch doesn't work with numeric comparison cases

Question

Here is my code.

$value = 0;
switch($value) {
      case ( $value <= 25 ):
            $CompScore = \'low\';
            break;
      case ($value > 25         


        

Answer 1

The problem is, you use your switch in a particular way.

You are saying :

$value = 0;
Switch ($value){
    case ($value < 25):
        ....

}

This finally compares $value<25 and 0 as described below :

($value<25) == $value.
=> true == 0

Which is wrong because true != 0

A way to do what you want this way is simply to replace switch($value) with switch(true) so the interpreter will actually compare check if your case statements are true.
