6.4.8 Match on multiple values
Array syntax can be used to match on multiple values:
var s = switch [1, false, "foo"] {
case [1, false, "bar"]: "0";
case [_, true, _]: "1";
case [_, false, _]: "2";
}
trace(s); // 2
This is quite similar to usual array matching, but there are differences:
- The number of elements is fixed, so patterns of different array length will not be accepted.
- It is not possible to capture the switch value in a variable, i.e.
case x
is not allowed (case _
still is).
