I want to create a function that does something similar to this:

int WhatToDo(char *Something)
{
	case &Something of
	{
		1: 
	}
	 
}

Basically, if user types word, return a value that represents word the person types in.

I think I might be leaning more towards pascal as I wrote that, but I have no idea how to do it in c++. I looked online and there was not a clear solution on how to accomplish the task. Does anyone know how to achieve something similar to that but in c++?

switch(Something)
{
  1: __asm { nop }
}

Basic

switch(condition) { // in this case the condition would involve an integer (matches case)
     case 1: 
        // do something
     break;

     case 2:
        // something else
     break;
     
     default:
        //what do do if other cases aren't met
}

You can also

switch(condition) {
    case 1: case 2: case 3: case 4:
        // do something when one of those cases are true
    break;

    default:
        //yeah stuff

}

Condition can be char, bool, int.
Probably something else but i'm hungover…

In most languages, it is called a switch statement. Here's a pretty good mini tutorial. If you want any more details, don't hesitate to ask. Good luck.

Don't think people realize this thread is 2 years old………………….

Let the threads rest in peace guys

In their defenses, most threads on this particular section are about a year or more old and I found JJordan's explanation easier to understand than the one given two years ago.
