Converting the GNU case range extension to standard C

Question

The GNU case range extension allows case ranges in switch statements:

switch (value) {
    case 1 ... 8:
        printf(\"Hello, 1 to 8\\n\");
        break;         


        

Answer 1

I would use an if statement:

if (value >=1 && value <= 8) {
    printf("Hello, 1 to 8\n");
} else {
    printf("Hello, default\n");
} 

You can then add extra else if statements if more ranges are required,
